It would be nice if text editors could select different fonts for different languages.

Suppose I have a nice font that only supports latin characters but the codebase I work with contains symbols and strings in both English and Japanese. At best, my editor will render my font's supported characters and fall back to some default for everything else. At worst, any characters not in the font won't be rendered at all. Wouldn't it be nice if we could select one font for English and a different but matching font for Japanese?

I'm not aware of any text editor that has this sort of feature. Does anyone share a desire for this?

I'm thinking of contributing work on this for some editor but I'm not sure how welcome this would be.
