I don't consider this a major irritant but I do wish they wouldn't do it.

I consider it a problem. In the books I've seen graphics as text, it's too small. And when you read this on a hi-res eInk screen, the text can be unreadable. So what I try to do is do away with the graphics. If it's a special character usually the font I use has it. If it's a special font, I try to find the same or similar enough font. As in the Golem speak in Discworld books, I found the font and can fix that problem.
