It wouldn't be all that difficult for someone to create a tool that
compared a set of data with a preferential list of fonts to determine which
characters are going to be supported by which fonts, and which are not
covered. That still wouldn't address Tex's concern with regard to
language-specific glyph preferences, unless the tool also knew which fonts
were designed for which languages (or give preference to which languages as
defaults).
