That is correct, you have the right font alias, but it's not the line
I pointed out :)

Edit the file ~/.Xresources (or ~/.Xdefaults if that is what your 
distribution uses) and add the line:

XTerm*renderFont: true

Then run, in a terminal, 'xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources', and the next
terminal you open should start with TrueType fonts enabled. Most
distributions will source one of these files when X starts, so the
change should be permanent. If it isn't, you would need to run the
above xrdb command on X startup, either from a script or by adding it
to your Xfce session startup in Settings -> Session and Startup.
