Hi
My initial reaction to this was... "that's not greeking". However on
checking I see that what you have described is also classified as
"greeking". I'm familiar with what you've described and have used it many
times (especially in print media before the web existed).
When I saw greeking I thought of the approximation of text characters. Like
in a small preview image of a word processor document to show you roughly
what the page will look like. It uses small graphics to appoximate the text.
