First, you need to use a font that can actually scale. If you cant 
check the "Allow Scaling" box, then that font wont scale. 

I'm using Helvetica and Courior in netscape. Mozilla is my primary
browser, and that one is using the MS fonts I installed. Also, I
installed the fonts from gimp.org, some of them are nice. 

See this howto:

After you installed xfstt, did you copy ttfs to the font dir before you
ran xfstt --sync?

Did you add unix/:port to your font path? 

Did you do it via xset or did you add it to your XF config? 

Does xlsfonts show your fonts? 

Is the computer plugged in? :)

Are there sun spots?
