ok, your effort was in the right direction and it's likely the problem was introduced in #261.
i studied the changes and narrowed down the possibilities to few things
1. a change in the font
2. updating of the networking lib
3. changing of type for character pointers
In next release (275) i tried to fix point 1. I fear i can't do nothing for point 2, and will change point 3 only if necessary.
Stay tuned.
