Yes, those are TT fonts.

Yes, kind of. So far as I can tell, kde will put a "xft" behind most fonts.  I 
just checked and non of the MSTT fonts have this, only the ghostscript fonts.  
Thats alright though, the gs fonts look better anway.

The only other thing that I know to try would be to move your .kde or .kde2 or 
.kde3 folder to another place and then see what comes up when you have the 
default settings (make sure to go to control center again, selects AA on and 
change the fonts, then start kde again).
