Highlighted header not readable in emacs rst-mode

Question

Emacs has a built-in rst-mode, but the header highlight literally makes it unreadable. Is there some quick fix for this?

The screenshot above is produced on a Mac OS X using iTerm2, with emacs -Q command (which means no customized .emacs will be used). I am using emacs version 24.4.1.

To find out the name of a face, put your point on it and call describe-face. This tells you that it is rst-level-1. Looking at the value, you probably want to change 'Background'.

(custom-set-faces
 '(rst-level-1 ((t (:background "white")))))

See the face customization node in the manual for more details.
