Did you install from the ports or a package? I installed from the ports collection. I have java script turned on, as well. I am using an old S3/GX video card with the S3V video driver. You might try changing the video driver for X to see if that helps. I do have problems with xfstt executing on my FreeBSD server, but do not have any problems connecting to xfstt on my Linux box. The Linux implementation runs smoothly and serves fonts to four machines. The freebsd version barely runs, cannot handle large web font files, and dies if anyone connects to it remotely. xfstt 1.0 runs fine on Redhat, but dies and goes to hell on my FreeBSD box, even though the author claims to have made improvements specifically for FreeBSD.
