Depends on what you want to achieve. If your objective is "I want to
visually recognize whether there are any stray characters in the file,
outside the range of characters which I normally use", then such
a kind of font can work very well.

This one (or one similar to it) is installed (by default?) on Debian
Linux, and it helps to recognize cases where you have characters
in a text that you could not display otherwise.

In any case, I still think it proves the argument wrong: "there does not
currently exist a font where one *can* differentiate all the glyphs".
