I removed my msttcorefonts pkg and installed yours.. no difference.
I rebuilt freetype again just for good measure.. nothing.
Now I somehow did manage somewhere along the line to make the fonts look a little better. But I still think they look horrible.

I am so frustrated because I have everything else just the way I want it.. but the fonts are so jagged ;[
I never had jagged fonts with the standard xfce in extras and normal CentOS using the liberation fonts and the standard freetype from centos. I was using the same fonts I used in Gnome.
Maybe I am missing something, why did you need to rebuild freetype?
Are you using the xfce from centos 5 extras?
Here is a list of the relevant fonts I have installed:
bitstream-vera-fonts-1.10-7 liberation-fonts-1.0-1.el5 libXfont-1.2.2-1.0.3.el5_1 libXfontcache-1.0.2-3.1 xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-fonts-base-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-fonts-truetype-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-fonts-Type1-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-font-utils-7.1-2
After you make sure liberation-fonts and bitstream-vera-fonts are installed, try making "Bitstream Vera Sans" or "Liberation Sans" your application font.
