Probably the directory of these fonts (/usr/share/fonts/truetype on my
system) is not in your /etc/X11/XftConfig.
Here's the start of my XftConfig:
dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
dir "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
dir "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"

Make sure all directories with truetype or Type1 fonts are in there.
Note: casting xfree86 overwrites the XftConfig on my sys.

It should be safe to cast the profile, but it's been a long time since i
did that, so i'm not sure.
