◊ DID YOU MEAN GREEK?
greek
1. To display text as abstract dots and lines
in order to give a preview of layout without actually being
legible. This is faster than drawing the characters correctly
which may require scaling or other transformations. Greeking
is particularly useful when displaying a reduced image of a
document where the text would be too small to be legible on
the display anyway.
2. {lorem ipsum}.
