How about asciify-glyph?
The substitute glyphs might not be ASCII in the future. For example, on Fedora 24 the console font 'cp1250' can display µ (U+00B5 MICRO SIGN) but not μ (U+03BC GREEK SMALL LETTER MU), and it would be quite reasonable for a future version of Emacs to display the latter as the former using the approximation-glyph font.
It's true that the name 'approximation-glyph' is long and hard to spell. Perhaps we can think of a better font name that doesn't imply ASCII. How about 'homo-glyph'? That is more technically accurate anyway, as this feature is all about homoglyphs.
