Audacity and XMMS are both GTK1 applications (directly or indirectly),
whereas the GIMP uses GTK2. There are big differences in font rendering
and configuration between the two toolkits.

You can customise fonts in GTK1 applications by creating the
file .gtkrc with the following contents:

    style "user-font" {
        fontset = "<font-specification>"
    }
    widget_class "*" style "user-font"

where <font-specification> represents a font specification in the style
used by traditional X applications, such as
"-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*")
