We are now using font icons for header and footer image links (like logos, twitter, facebook, etc). Since they are not images, they do not any ALT. They do have Titles. On Windows and iOS, they work fine- JAWS and NVDA read the Title and link. On Mac and Android, VoiceOver/Talkback only says "link", and does not read the Title or url so the user has no idea what the link is for.
Is this a VoiceOver bug? Is there an attribute like ALT for font icons?
