Just a word of warning and a question in case this is a common issue.

I bought a BEBOOK this week and when it arrived it did not work with LIT files (unlike it states on the BEBEOOK website). The firmware installed was 1.26.

I installed the hanlin 1.27 version since there does not appear to be a 1.27 version from BEBOOK yet and noticed a few unexpected differences

- Some characters in text files are no longer displayed correctly even when the system font is replaced, these seem to be mainly proper speech quotes when the machine is set to English

- More annoyingly the 7 button to bring up document settings (at least when using text files in 1.26) is now disabled and there seems to be no way to alter spacing and the other options that were previously available.

Anyone have any comments on these adverse changes and any ideas how to undo them without reverting to 1.26 firmware again (assuming BEBOOK allow it to be downloaded)
