That's curious. The Russian version map (English names) is also blurred with ddraw.dll? In the "Medieval - Total War\Textures\campmap" directory, there should be two files, MapTex.tga and MapTex2.tga. They are image files for the campaign map (without the castles and models), open them up and see which one has English text. MapTex2 is a higher resolution map, I think the engine uses one or the other depending on the memory size.
In my game version, MapTex.tga is 2048x1536, and MapTex2.tga is 4096x3072.
