- Yes,but only if "fontfile" is in plaintext (.PFA) format, rather
- than in binary (.PFB) format.

- Actually, this is an _alternative_ to the ()run method, and a
- rather better one, since:
-
- 1.You only have to edit one file once.
- 2.You can load fonts in .PFB format.
-
- And no, you don't have to recompile (that's the point of having a
- separate configuration file).
