Then I don't have any idea what could mess with your font settings. I have meanwhile checked out xmms and indeed the fonts look worse (though not as bad as in my intentionally screwed up iceweasel screenshot):

(Umlauts seem to work fine, so there does not seem to be a fundamental  problem with using xmms in an *.UTF-8 locale.)

On the other hand, you should never have such problems with iceweasel. It would help if you could put a few example screenshots somewhere. I am starting to suspect that I might be barking up the wrong tree with the hinting business.
