Since there isn't a post on this particular issue I will post here for reference.
If you are playing on linux widescreen and cannot see the distances on your HUD the fix is the following:
1. navigate to your game's directory. Then go into \data\fonts.
2. edit fonts.ini as administrator. Delete entire contents and replace with.
Code:
[trueType]
nickname = ButtonText
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.038500
[trueType]
nickname = PageHeader
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.041000
[trueType]
nickname = SubHeader
font = Agency FB
fixed_height = 0.034500
