Any font used by Emacs for the default face will always be able to support ASCII characters, but that is not necessarily true for non-ASCII, not even for Latin (although in practice most if not all fonts do support the Latin-1 Supplement block. > Are there use cases where displaying an ascii character when evaluating an integer is more important than displaying an "é" ? This isn't about importance, this is about potential slowdown in displaying a simple integer result because Emacs needs to look for a suitable font.
