Truetype fonts

[Joshua Adam Ginsberg]

I've only used RH, so I guess I'm only familiar with XFS serving fonts.
I've got another RH 7.2 system and anti-aliasing works just fine with
the exact same configuration. So this is the main source of my
confusion.

Since I use RPM to maintain most of my packages, I'd like to keep XF86
installed via package so that every graphical application I try to
install doesn't bitch because I supposedly don't have it installed.
However XF86 depends on XFS being installed.

So if I were trying to make sure this was done with XFS only, what do
you recommend? Should I take the freetype driver out of XF86Config-4?
How do I make sure XFS has TTF's enabled?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
