The best way is to use software that takes advantage of client-side 
font infrastructure as in the Xft library.  That requires no special 
server support and is in many other ways better as well.

Alternatively, you can can built the X font library with FreeType support 
and it will scale server-side fonts cleanly.

In the X font libary directory, do

	./configure --enable-freetype <other configure options>

Install the new library and restart the X server; things should be well 
again.
