xfs and Xft are to totally different things. While xfs is a font server that 
can handle TTFs, Xft is the library XFree 4.0.2 uses to talk to Freetype 2 
(correct me if I'm wrong here). AFAIK, you can _not_ use AA fonts (for what 
Xft is used) with a font server, they must be accessible from the host the X 
server runs on and configured in the local XftConfig. xfs is only used for 
applications that do not use the RENDER extension (and thus no AA).
