I don't know if it's exactly the same problem you've described, but I
had lots of problems getting xfstt to scale TrueType fonts under
Redhat 6.2. I installed an alternet TrueType font server, xfsft, and
then everything worked fine. I highly recommend xfsft; it makes most
windows-designed websites look a lot better.
