Hello,

Currently, I am using emacs 22 and can only use a very limited number
of fonts. I am used to using Monaco which is a TTF fone and am
wondering if the next release of emacs (23) will support these fonts
by default using XFT or something like that.

Cheers,
Luca

It will! And also OTF. Besides, it's the fonts sub-system of your OS  
GNU Emacs starts to rely on. XFT allows to anti-alias vector-based  
fonts. It seems to be restricted to the default GTK GNU Emacs. Other  
windowing systems offer their own support.

Just install it from cvs and start by M-x info, you'll be astonished.

You don't have to wait.
Just check out emacs from cvs and compile it using gtk toolkit.
I have been using emacs 23 on debian lenny with monaco font for some time.
just run fontconfig and add (set-default-font "monaco") your init file.
