The handling of TT fonts changed with Xfree86 4; to save having to learn it to ways you might want to upgrade to v4 first. Or you might not; there have been various glitches with the upgrade process.
For v3 there is a Debian HowTo True Type (probably in the debian site, not LDP). You need to start a separate TT font server and, if you don't have it, a regular font server. For v4 the new font server can handle TT, so you don't need a separate TT font server. However, you can feed it off the old TT font server.
