Greeking
The approximation of text characters on a screen display. Greeking is often used by word processors that support a preview function. In preview mode, the word processor attempts to show what a document will look like when printed. Frequently, however, the graphics display capabilities of the monitor are not sufficient to show text at a small size. To give a general idea of what the text will look like and how page layout will appear, the word processor uses graphics symbols to approximate the text. These symbols suggest greek letters, hence the term greeking.
The term greeking is also used to describe nonsense text inserted in a document to check a layout. This allows a layout artist to concentrate on the overall appearance of a page without worrying about the actual text that will be inserted later.
Ligatures
Two or more letters combined into one character make a ligature. In typography some ligatures represent specific sounds or words such as the AE or æ diphthong ligature. Other ligatures are primarily to make type more attractive on the page such as the fl and fi ligatures. In most cases, a ligature is only available in extended characters sets or special expert sets of non-OpenType fonts. Newer OpenType fonts frequently have the extended characters included but not all fonts contain all possible ligatures.
Ligatures used to improve the appearance of type are usually character pairs or triplets that have features that tend to overlap when used together. The ligature creates a smoother transition or connection between characters by connecting crossbars, removing dots over the i, or otherwise altering the shape of the characters.
We had a crit on our pages & layouts we had done here's my Peer Review:
I laid out all of my hand rendered grid and my computerised ones and I received feedback saying that my layouts were very professional & clean but I needed to use more geometric shapes. What I think this is meaning is that I need to try out other shapes other than rectangles etc....
Here I have acted upon it:
