New issue 812 by v.villenave: ./configure detects incorrect set of Century  
Schoolbook fonts
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=812

Reported by Patrick McCarty and John Mandereau:

"
If the ~/.fonts directory contains the FontForge-generated Century
Schoolbook OTF fonts from a previous LilyPond compile, ./configure
detects *two* of these OTF fonts and *two* of the system PFB fonts.
"

"
Century Schoolbook font lookup is first attempted by FontConfig, and if
it's successful, the lookup stops. We should refine fc-match lookup by
excluding paths that contain $HOME.
"

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1) Extract the following fonts from your LilyPond installation, and
move them to ~/.fonts

 CenturySchL-Bold.otf
 CenturySchL-BoldItal.otf
 CenturySchL-Ital.otf
 CenturySchL-Roma.otf

2) Start a fresh git build with ./autogen.sh (in my case, I do
./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr, but this shouldn't matter)

3) Configure will detect two of these OTF fonts and two of the system PFB
fonts:

 checking New Century Schoolbook PFB files...
   /home/user/.fonts/CenturySchL-Bold.otf
   /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059036l.pfb
   /home/user/.fonts/CenturySchL-Ital.otf
   /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059013l.pfb

Configure *should* detect these fonts:

 /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059016l.pfb
 /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059036l.pfb
 /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059033l.pfb
 /usr/share/fonts/Type1/c059013l.pfb
