No. You need a special xfs. There are two of them, one by the XF86
project (xfsft or something like that), the other by a Japanese group
called X-TT (xfs-tt). The X-TT version has some nice extra
functionality (defining new fonts by changing slant, weight, etc), but
unfortunately so far noone has succeeded in porting to the new XFree86
architecture. The X-TT project has reportedly split over this, with
the core developers persisting in their fork.

Get either xfsft or xfs-tt (or both, they can run on the same machine
just using different port numbers), and add the appropriate font
server specs to your fontpath using either xset or in XF86Config. See
the man pages for xfs for the syntax.
