I have managed to get battle net to work for starcraft. I did this by
installing window fonts on Linux. Battle net works now even though the
background is black and text can be a hard to read when the text over laps.
This is not a perfect fix but you can do battle net. 

The  link for installing the fonts is

same as #111

I installed the fonts in a different way though:

go to a windows machine and copy the folder c:/windows/fonts.

paste it in your linux folder and simply use the font installer that comes with
your distro.

for Slackware 12.2 -> go to Control Center > System Administration > Font
Installer... click in administrator mode and enter your root password.
