i've edited keithp's XftConfig such that it now contains only the two 
path lines to the typefaces. (if one is using xfs, should it be 
unix/:7100 instead?)

anyway, restarting kde-2.1 now gets me some progress -- different 
typefaces in kmail, for instance -- but typeface listboxes in kde are 
still utterly empty, totally blank, and konqueror still will not 
display a text file or render html properly, and the inability to 
actually see any text extends, too, to kwrite and kant. konsole is 
now also all screwed up, too, offering only one typeface, some roman 
variant, and that only in custom, and the kerning is *way* off.

is xft actually documented anyplace? keithp's page is very nice, and 
i thank him for it, but it leaves little help if it doesn't work. the 
closest to documentation i've found is the text README.fonts in the 
xfree distribution (oddly not added to the html docs), which advised 
getting and running ttmkftdir and type1inst in the respective 
directories before running mkfontdir and mkfontdir -e ../encodings, 
then replacing all the FontDir lines in XF86Config with "unix/:7100", 
assuming xfs with a proper config file. type1 and xtt are both 
loading when X does (and if i use freetype instead, it also loads). 
xset q reports unix/:7100 as being on the fontpath. in short, i think 
i've done everything. i even rebuilt qt against the new xfree cvs, 
just in case there was some change since xfree-4.02. i'm just 
flummoxed.
