Well supposedly the built-in server is not as good as xfs-xtt for
rendering fonts according to the pkg description:
This package provide X-TrueType font server. This is compatible normal X
font server, but added X-TrueType font handling scheme support instead of
FreeType backend. XFree86 4.0's font server can handle TrueType too, but it
can not handle TTCap. By using TTCap description, support for font
transformations, such as slanting, adjusting glyph width, pseudo-bolding,
etc.
FWIW
