[Solved] Insanely small e17 fonts

Upon doing a 'pacman -S e17-svn' install of 17, I start it up (using startx), and things seem ok except for the fact that the fonts are literally thinner than the border of this post new topic box.  I just got the whole system up running and wanted to install this as my default WM (I had been trying it out on BSD earlier before I installed Arch last night.)  Whatever popped out of Xorg -configure with those ServerFlags settings to make mouse and keyboard work is my current Xorg config (radeonhd driver for my ati r580, 1920x1200 monitor resolution) - this is what I did on BSD too, standard stuff is no different.

One other side note, whenever I do hwd -e, it says my graphics card is using vesa, even though I have radeonhd (for now) installed and completely removed xf86-video-vesa package, but my Xorg -configure pops up radeonhd for me.

Yeah, I tried doing that but it didn't seem to work whenever I startx, it blew up something, and I tried the .Xresources method with Xft.dpi: 96.  Worked awesomely on awesome, no affect on enlightenment.

Thanks a lot. I am installing a system from scratch and was stuck...
I'm not sure why ttf-bitstream-vera is not set as a dependency of e17 hmm It would solve lots of hassle...
