I don’t think there is any easy way. Here are a few tips that might help:

- You could cut and paste a circle of known diameter into each glyph to check visually for any errors a bit more quickly than using the measuring tool.
- You can use the Align Tools to align nodes vertically or horizontally to make sure that strokes are perfectly horizontal/vertical.
- You can select two nodes and press “G” to set a guideline to check that strokes are in the same place in different glyphs.
- You can move through all of the nodes in Points Mode using the shortcut keys “Q” and “W”, and nudge nodes with Control + Cursor keys
- Select multiple nodes with the lassoo tool to nudge them all at once to adjust the width of a stroke.
- To check if scripts join up as intended, use the Comparison Toolbar to show different glyphs before and after.
