Thanks for the clarification, but I'm still a bit confused. Don't other
programs use X to access fonts? If my emacs can show XFT fonts, does
that mean that it contains built-in support for those fonts, or that it
somehow makes X do it? Is font support a matter of what works with X, or
the programs should support it themselves?

Your X server or X font server probably supports TrueType fonts,

on how to set it up turned up this:
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-fonts.html>.
To the best of my memory, that was how we did it on Linux as well,
back before XFT and FontConfig made us all soft.
Soft or not:
- Just to clarify for this thread, StumpWM doesn't contain support for
XFT fonts, so it depends on what fonts your X server supports, see
previous comments in this thread for more info on this, or use the
program "xfontsel" which is a good rudimentary X11 font selector.
- My Stump config has the following for font config. I make no claims
that this is "the right way" or "definitive" or "orginal" but the
first line works for me.
(set-font
"-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-11-80-100-100-m-70-iso10646-1")
