I'll wager a guess and say your FONT or LOCALE are messed up -- pertaining to
UTF-8 and default Languages / Keymap codes you have installed...etc

I think those 'numbers' instead of fonts is/are the UTF-8 representation in
code of wghat the font should be (mapped to).

I'm running Debian Sarge 3.1r2 (2.6.8-3-686) and have also recently installed
Audacity to use -- and it works ;-) ...I was even able to do my first ever
"Compile" (/.configure, make, make install) and install LAME just so I could
tell Audacity where the 'libmp3lame.so' file was, so Audacity could
Edit/Save/Export/Play in MP3 format. ;-)

I dont have those (your) issues -- but I have many other ones :-( (GTK+ related
during compilation).

Post the output of;
~$ cat /etc/locale.gen
en_US ISO-8859-1

Use;
~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
to alter what the system uses a default, and what's available

Thanks for the solution. I also had the problem for a long time. I solved it by changing locale to en_US ISO-8859-1. 
What  to do tomake xmms recognise en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8?
