No way, Xft can only use local dirs, no font server.

I know Xft lacks some docu :(
I have no idea which - and how many TTFs you installed, I can only say with 
all the fonts from Windows and M$ Office installed and their paths listed in 
XftConfig, KDE with AA works wonderful. About Konsole: from my experience it 
looks best with Andale Mono which I enabled to be displayed in the list by 
putting this line in XftConfig:

match any family == "fixed"     edit family =+ "Andale Mono";

Of course, you need to have that font to use it :)
