David, Greeking is applying a symbol instead of characters when the point size of the viewed image gets too small to be practical. This makes for quicker screen redraws, since you can't read the text anyway at that size, but the symbol (sometimes a gray'd out area as in Illustrator or a lazy 8 for characters as in PageMaker). Like to see text as text even if I can't read it, so I keep my greeking set very low to 5 points and in some cases even to 2 points, not to read the text, but to see it's appearance as text in a particular area.
