Check if you really have truetype-aware X.  Your xlsfonts should be listing 
all the truetype fonts like this:

-adobe-utopia-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1

Point size 0 is truetype.

If I allow configure to select freetype, it eventually bombs out with...

In file included from unix/include/GTKFont.h:37,
                 from unix/src/GTKFont.cpp:32:
unix/include/ttfont.h:34:22: freetype.h: No such file or directory

On Red Hat 9, configure.ac finds freetype1/freetype/freetype.h:

    AC_CHECK_HEADERS(freetype1/freetype/freetype.h,
                     [TTF_CFLAGS="-Ifreetype1/freetype"; have_freetype=true])

That's where configure finds freetype, and config.h now defines:

/* Define to 1 if you have the <freetype1/freetype/freetype.h> header file. */
#define HAVE_FREETYPE1_FREETYPE_FREETYPE_H 1

But ui/zinf/unix/include/ttfont.h never checks this symbol, it only checks 
the first two probes in configure.ac
