I wonder if they were in a rush to get the T1 released (maybe for the Pottermore planned October opening?) and thought they'd work the issues later with firmware updates. Other things aren't activated yet either like periodical auto-deliveries and cross-device syncing. I copied the info from the manual in case people are not aware of the font issue you are referring to, in particular Item #3.
