xterm uses -fa for fontconfig (that includes TrueType) fonts, -fn
is for "classical" X fonts. See this example:
: cmt@squirrel:/usr/ports$ xterm -fa "Droid Serif"
-> gives xterm with a somewhat ugly font (I might have to tweak other
settings, too)
: cmt@squirrel:/usr/ports$ xterm -fn "Droid Serif"
: xterm: cannot load font 'Droid Serif'
: xterm: cannot load font 'Droid Serif'
-> xterm starts with the default font ("fixed").

The same might apply here (I don't have KDE availabe).
