Dom3 font issue on Linux

[nilfilter]

Hi there,

I have an ugly font issue with Dominions 3 on Debian sid:
The menu fonts look blurred/skewed. The same problem happened on Ubuntu Dapper Drake.

I have scoured these forums for a solution but couldn't find any. Also, I have changed font resolutions without success. As an example, please view
this screenshot.
It shows Dom2 and Dom3 running side by side in windowed mode. As you can see, only Dom3 is affected. Dom2 looks just fine.

Any ideas?

ps: I created a support ticket on Oct 19, its status still is "Awaiting Response".
