A government or industry agency can provide specifications related to the
composition of gasoline, and pumps can be configured to support the
specifications, but if a particular trucker delivers a load of sugar-water
to a station and fills their tanks without telling anybody, then there's
not much that the pump can do to stop putting sugar-water in your car.
There is no way that a browser can tell whether the glyph outlines in a
font are appropriate for the character set that has been specified. This is
user error, not a browser bug.
