The only icons that read correctly when swiping for me are tasks, tavern, inventory, and any icon that is locked, correctly just says locked. On the character creation screen at the very beginning of the game, there are icons that will not read either, but the player name text box does read correctly.
When clicking the tasks icon, "click here to open" reads correctly on that screen, and it reads the tasks, but there are also seemingly blank icons.
When tapping tavern no icons on that screen read at all when swiping.
I hope this helps and gives you an idea about what to do, particularly as the word tasks, and the word locked, read perfectly fine.
