Something \tracingbugs you mean -)

In context there is a lot of tracing code that we can use to look into 
node lists and so, but still one needs to know what to look for. There 
is also quite some font tracing code, but in the case it would probably 
not have helped much simply because when some output looks ok there is 
no reason to assume a bug. As we started with cambria it also means that 
this font becomes a benchmark which easily leads to the assumption that 
it has no problems.
