After a lot of trawling the logs for what's changed and a lot of restarting X to test theories (not to mention a lot of help from my local LUG), I've worked out what the problem is, so I thought I'd post in case anyone else has the same issue. I'd switched my system over to UTF-8 to enable me to use English and Russian together -- bash doesn't work very well, unless the LC_CTYPE is set appropriately, understandably. In doing so, enlightenment was running with LC_CTYPE set to en_GB.UTF-8. Changing the line in my .xinitrc that starts enlightenment to: LC_CTYPE=en_GB enlightenment fixed the problem of the font display. I still think this is a problem with enlightenment, but I leave people who know more about these things to make a final decision. Hope that helps someone else someday anyway...
