Gerard, I have attempted to apply your patch.  Here's the .rej file.  I
imagine there have been some changes to xfont.c since you wrote this;
but I haven't a clue when in comes to code.  I'm using the 20010305
tarball.

As a side note; I've done the ttmkfdir and mkfontdir with no problems in
my .ttf directory; and have turned over the handling of ttf's to xfs. 
I'm no longer using xfstt.

I also tried this patch (hand edited xfont.c) and it also failed.
