The bug is back.  After the patch, I still am at

configure:4099: checking New Century Schoolbook PFB files
configure:4131: result:  /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/c059036l.pfb  
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/c059013l.pfb 

The corresponding passage in configure is

    { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking New Century Schoolbook PFB files" >&5
    echo $ECHO_N "checking New Century Schoolbook PFB files... $ECHO_C" >&6; }

    if test "$NCSB_DIR" != "" ;  then
      NCSB_SOURCE_FILES=""
      for f in c059013l c059016l c059033l c059036l; do
        if test ! -f "$NCSB_DIR/$f.pfb"; then

        { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: WARNING: $NCSB_DIR does not contain $f.pfb." >&5
    echo "$as_me: WARNING: $NCSB_DIR does not contain $f.pfb." >&2;}
        warn_b=yes

        else
          NCSB_SOURCE_FILES="$NCSB_DIR/$f.pfb $NCSB_SOURCE_FILES"
        fi
      done
    else
      if test "$FCMATCH" != ""; then
        for style in Roman Italic "Bold Italic" Bold; do
          NCSB_FILE=`$FCMATCH --verbose "Century Schoolbook 
L:style=$style:fontformat=Type 1" | grep 'file:' | grep -v "\.ttf"`

          NCSB_FILE=`echo $NCSB_FILE | sed 's/^.*"\(.*\)".*$/\1/g'`
          NCSB_FILE=`$PYTHON "$srcdir/scripts/auxiliar/readlink.py" $NCSB_FILE`
          NCSB_SOURCE_FILES="$NCSB_FILE $NCSB_SOURCE_FILES"
        done
      else
        { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: not found" >&5
    echo "${ECHO_T}not found" >&6; }
        echo "Can't find Century Schoolbook files. Install FontConfig's 
fc-match,"
        echo "or use --with-ncsb-dir"
      fi
    fi
    { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: $NCSB_SOURCE_FILES" >&5
    echo "${ECHO_T}$NCSB_SOURCE_FILES" >&6; }

Running manually

fc-match --verbose "Century Schoolbook L:style=Bold:fontformat=Type 1"

gives

If one uses the --sort option, one gets dozens of fonts.  The Type1 font
is at the second place and increasingly dissimilar fallbacks follow.
The fontformat= entry does not seem to change anything any which way.
Using foundry=urw in contrast helps.  But that probably is asking more
than you want.
