GTK = GIMP Tool Kit.  Gnome is written using GTK, as are apps that run
on Gnome.

XFT:  http://www.xfree86.org/current/fonts1.html#2 

XFree86 includes two font systems: the core X11 fonts system, which is
present in all implementations of X11, and the Xft fonts system, which
is not currently distributed with implementations of X11 that are not
based on XFree86 but will hopefully be included by them in the
future....  Xft was designed from the start to provide good support for
scalable fonts, and do so efficiently. Unlike the core fonts system, it
supports features such as anti-aliasing and sub-pixel rasterisation.
