Calls to functions named X[A-Z]*Font* indicate use of core fonts, eg:

XLoadQueryFont
XQueryFont
XLoadFont
XListFonts
XGetFontPath
XSetFont
XFreeFont
etc. (for more see <X11/Xlib.h>)

See the other emails we exchanged for discussion of what the
replacement ought to be if you're using Xlib directly.
