Without seeing the two lists, I'd trust xfstt . But if you shouw the list
(in private mail, if you don't want to bother the list) then a better
answer may bve given.

xfstt does not try to extract the foundry (the "source of the font: the
body that has created the font), and simply writes 'ttf' in the 'foundry'
field.
You can change that name to something other than 'ttf' by putting a
spesific font file in a $foundry subdirectory. e.g.: put all the arial* ,
times* and cour* in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/monotype .
