If you're running a standalone box, and not 'serving' fonts to other
machines, xfs (or xfs-xtt) is not needed. I have purged xfs from my
machine and am using TT fonts just fine. XFree86 v4 and higher take care
of them for me.

Here's mine:
# FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server
# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on
# these
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/truetype"
# FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
# FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
'xlsfonts | grep arial' shows dozens of variations of arial. For
example:
-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--24-240-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--6-60-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--7-70-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--8-80-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--9-90-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
