They are needed for the old X font system, the one in which you specify fonts with names like -microsoft-comic sans-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 but are not needed for the modern font system (fontconfig & freetype) used by most GNOME apps, in which fonts have more human readable names such as "Comic Sans MS:style=Regular". Only the new system has antialiased fonts, so if you're seeing antialiased text you know which is in use.
