changing DPI for applications only while in Enlightenment17
 
I'm trying to get used to using Enlightenment 17. Liking it so far, but this one problem I'm having is that all of my applications menus and text and such seem to be in these huge fonts. But it only affects applications - the E menus and all are exactly the right size.

Like for example, I'm using Firefox to type this. The toolbar at the top is in the giant font like all other applications. But the E menu fonts are about 1/3 the size.

The fonts all look just fine in KDE, so I don't know what the problem is. I'd like to reduce them without affecting the system DPI (which is already correctly sized) but I can't find any option in the menus that helps.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

edit: example of what I mean. Compare the Firefox menu bar to the file manager text. http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/7889/snapd.png

Posted this after an hour of searching online, solved the problem just a few minutes after posting :P go figure

For anyone who has the same problem, my fix was to add
Code:

Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
under the Devices tab in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Found it by reading someone's xorg.conf file that happened to already include that line.
