I don't think there are tools to detect these problems, at least not until
we have soem pretty impressive advances in the AI field - most of these
problems are use-dependent (a proportional font is obviously not broken on
a technical level, just not very usable for terminals, for example).
Problems can be subtle - for example, your font might have a double-width
character for a codepoint that your libc says must fit into a single
column.
