See The TeXbook, p301: "There is also \tracinglostchars, which (if positive) causes TeX to record each time a character has been dropped because it does not appear in the current font; ..."

(And yes, \tracingonline=1 means you'll get those messages in the terminal, not only the .log file. That's also a standard TeX parameter, documented in The TeXbook.)
