You only downloaded the TTF fonts? This strikes a very familiar cord with  
me. The Luxi Mono fonts are installed by the font-bh packages of  
Slackware. Download those from your favorite mirror (get all of the  
font-bh stuff, not just some of them) and then install them. That will  
give you the Luxi mono fonts that come with X.org.

On my system, the files in the Type1 directory have the l0470 prefix.

I hope that solves your problem. If it were me, I would try to install all  
of the font packages or font related packages, but you should be able to  
get by with just font-bh, but I would not promise it.
