Nice. How did you create the fonts.scale? Using mkfontscale I get a
quite differnet result (expected), which is worse in some aspects but
better in others. For example, mkfontscale also registers iso10646-1 for
these fonts. I think this is useful to get the cyrillic characters
supported. But somehow mkfontscale can't properly deal with the SC
fonts.

Why? In principle it would be interesting to have the C-version of both
t1c2pfb and pfb2t1c as separate package, since the C-version of t1c2pfb
is much faster. Installing the perl version as t1c2pfb makes a diversion
or a Replaces necessary if one wants to do that. It does simplify
maintainer scripts, but I think something like

if which t1c2pfb >/dev/null 2>&1; then
   T1C2PFB=t1c2pfb
else
   T1C2PFB=t1c2pfb.pl
fi

would be possible.
