| I got my font paths listed in my XF86Config, but they're not listed in the list of usable fonts in Mozilla. |

If they are ttf fonts, you need to have them in the path specified by XftConfig. I usually add them to /opt/ttfonts, which is listed as the user font directory in XftConfig.

It should come enabled by default, but did you enable freetype in /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref/unix.js?
You really shouldn't need a font server. Also, remember to make a fonts.dir and a fonts.scale in the directory you are putting these fonts in.

Which version of mozilla are you using? Do you see any true type fonts in it (verdana, etc.)?

| Okay I added the font paths. The fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF show up fine. The fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/font/truetype do not. |

I'm sure this is a typo when posting, but you have "font" in the second path rather than fonts.
