I've already tried Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, but it had trouble with non-ASCII characters.
However I just installed msttcorefonts and x-ttcidfonts-conf, reconfigured the latter to use Freetype and it displays non-ASCII correctly this time. I don't understand what happened behind the scenes, but I don't even want to know. I'm happy I'm over this. Thank you for your help.
