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).
