Correction: a new word for William Overington's ideolect.

We don't need a new word coined for this purpose. Those of us involved in font development and the digital font industry have managed fine without it thus far; I don't think any of us have developed any sudden urge for a new way to express ourselves in technical discussions. And if we did, I doubt "holomap" is what any of us would choose. We'd probably do some verbing (so common among English speakers, it seems) and say "cmap" as in "It is almost never necessary to cmap a ligature glyph."
