Well, one glaring example is xscreensaver. Even though xscreensaver has been a core part of Gnome for a while now, it uses its own internal password dialog, apparently due to paranoia about security. This internal GUI uses core fonts. jwz has some talk about using a toolkit like GTK via a seperate process here: http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/toolkits.html The other option is to just patch xscreensaver's internal dialog to use xft, which will at least get rid of the dependency on the core font system. There's also vncviewer, I can't figure out what toolkit its using if any, but it uses core fonts for its GUI. I find it annoying that vino is a part of Gnome, but there's no Gnome VNC viewer. vncviewer's UI is terrible.
