It's really sad this is just another [Extended] Latin only font. One more of all these beautiful fonts I cannot use because I have to edit files in three languages. Maybe 1 in 100 developers is visually impaired, but 75 in 100 developers are not native English speakers.

- least 3y agoWhat 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.
