There really shouldn't be any other than the X font utilities (bdftopcf,
mkfontdir, etc).
mkfontdir is now a wrapper around mkfontscale which doesn't use libXfont,
just libfontenc & libfreetype.
bdftopcf could probably be similarly rewritten to use FreeType directly.
As far as I know, and as far as grep for "xfont" in configure.ac can find,
only xfs & the X servers really still need libXfont. (We used to call
into libXfont from drivers, but xserver commit a00066d2916b6910429 moved
to providing equivalent API from the X server instead.)
