Dillo for the iliad is based on the official gtk1.x version, not the [old] gtk-xft nor the [older] gtk2 version, so it cannot use ttf fonts.
OTOH, I have a patch so as to be able to display latin1 UTF-8. I haven't used that patch in the iliad version because I didn't find it all that necessary, but if this is what you need, just ask. I've tested the patch in my desktop and it works reasonably well (only tested to view spanish pages using UTF-8, as in es.wikipedia.org).
If you want to be able to view other character sets (eastern-europe, cyrillic, CJK...), the patch will not work, as the fonts dillo has installed only contains the iso8859-1 charset (AKA latin1), and the patch specifically converts those UTF-8 codes to latin1 equivalents, ignoring all others.
EDIT: About the version of dillo used: Well, it's the lastest official version plus some patches to make it usable in the iliad O:-), so it's not the official version
