What other languages are you writing in? Latin script covers a lot more languages than just English, assuming it supports at least some diacritics. English is not the only language using latin script, so the point about 75 in 100 developers not being native english speakers is inconsequential.
There is a lot of knowledge required to make a font that covers all sorts of scripts, especially with constraints like it being monospaced. It's not impossible, but it'd be a massive and expensive undertaking with arguably little benefit.

Georgian and Russian. Georgian is hopeless, I'm really just whining into the void. DejaVu is my only option to make text editor not look like a movie style ransom letter.
