that's true and the "Missing charater: ....!" lines are characteristic enough

well Latexmk does precisely that:

Latexmk: Summary of warnings from last run of *latex:
  =====Latex reported missing or unavailable character(s).
=====See log file for details.

which is a bit misleading because it is not LaTeX
but the engine which reports the missing characters.
However it does report the important bit of information:
some glyphs maybe simply missing from the pdf output!
check the log!

But I did not want to mention it and be too LaTeX-centric :-)

Emacs/AUCTeX on the other hand does not have, to the
best of my knowledge that built-in but surely elisp savvy
users will add it with no problem

(however it does parse the log and this noticeably
slows down the build process)

Cheers,

Jean-François
