Generally no, there will not be a difference in the time it takes to display.

Yes, internally a computer does take a bit more processing power to scale a complicated font than a simple one but there is practically no chance that the difference would be perceptible to a user. In practice you can treat each character as taking the same amount of time to display - the number of pixels or how complicated the font is will really not matter at all. Pretty much even a page full of "." verses a page full of Chinese symbols will show an imperceptible difference in rendering time.

Thanks Ken, you are very helpful :)

bill
