Nothing strange here: DejaVu Sans Mono *does* cover Latin, so when you
ask for DejaVu Sans Mono, you get what you ask for.

On the other hand, with Hebrew, you ask for DejaVu Sans Mono, you get
another font that covers Hebrew. (The alternative would be that you
get exactly what you ask for and any characters that the font does not
cover would be displayed as empty squares, � replacement characters or
other unintelligible things.)
