4 years ago this is caused by the game using custom fonts to draw symbols instead of using the rich text symbols (which essentially have alt text built in). I'm leaving this open for now as there are still some parts of OCTGN that don't use rich text which may be limiting it's adoption.
User Impact: A blind user may be confused by the presence of Greek letters, among other symbols, in card text.
Background: The cards in Arkham Horror, and presumably other games, have a variety of special symbols used to denote various aspects of play. These are currently announced as Greek letters, "Alpha," "Beta," etc. This is quite confusing, though presumably the same symbol is always announced the same way.
Expected behavior: Some kind of mapping should be provided so that the symbol is announced as something appropriate to the game context, such as "Combat," or "Intellect," or the like.
Note: This is obviously using Arkham Horror as an example but has presumably broader applicability.
