Yes, it does.

But my fonts-config script also lets you use 'hand-tweaked' files if
you want. The script checks whether fonts.scale.* files exist and
merges these into the automatically generated fonts.scale file.  It
deletes all automatically generated entries for fonts which have
manual entries in any fonts.scale.* file, i.e. the manual entries have
higher priority. That means if you want to use 'hand-tweaked' entries
for a font foo.ttf, you can add those into a file called
fonts.scale.jungshik. If there is at least one manual entry for
foo.ttf in a fonts.scale.* file, no automatic entries will be created
for foo.ttf, i.e. if you want to use manual entries for foo.ttf, you
have to supply all of them you need.
