Default Random thought: Why can\'t strange curvy letters be automatically read?

A post in Internet gambling has led me to think, why can't strange curvy letters be automatically detected by OCR technology? Surely this is a trivial image processing problem isn't it? Such technology is frequently used to prevent the automated bots from mass registering free e-mail accounts and the such.
