I've been taking a look at this bug and trying to understand the
situation.
As far as I can tell, upstream releases are at
ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/fonts/
and there is a derivative set of fonts by Valek Filippov at
ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/urw/release/
which contains extra Cyrillic glyphs, but not all of the glyphs in the
original font.
Upstream is aware of the problem with the font and is trying to
coordinate a new release, but it seems there is some sort of
communication problem with Valek.
I don't understand how changes are merged back and forth between these
branches.
A glance at Century Schoolbook L Roman from both sources indicates that
the former has an incorrect version of U+045B and that the latter has a
a correct version.
It seems to me it would be possible to use Fontforge (or a comparable
tool, if one exists) to copy-and-paste the correct glyphs by hand from
Valek's fonts into each of the problematic ghostscript.com fonts without
any undesirable side-effects.
Since the .pfb files are binary, it will not be possible to generate a
patch, but the modified .pfb and .afm files will need to be copied into
the source of the package and a new version number decided upon.
