Can I have a few recommendations please for the best fonts

I have only installed one font package and have no experience
with any others.

msttcorefonts

It is available in the debian-multimedia repository.
http://www.debian-multimedia.org/
This package is in contrib. No need for debian-multimedia for this one.
I do have the latest msttcorefonts installed. It just looks crap with
Xmms and sometimes Iceweasel seems difficult to read too. But certainly
Xmms is the worst of the bunch.

Are you using utf-8 by chance? I haven't made the switch to utf-8 because a number of apps I use (mostly console) don't look right when I use it. This sounds similar but I don't know for sure.
I really don't know. How could I tell?
