Yes, it's a configuration file that designed to determine
the connection between PostScript fontname and the real
font. someone may wants to use another one rather than the
default font. those would be helpful in this case.

However my question is, what happens if the default font is
changed? I mean it will be not working properly after that
unless people changes them manually since it doesn't reflect
by noreplace flag.  I just want to know what the standard
way for such case, which is described somewhere
explicitly. and how do we notice that change to the users to
avoid the unnecessary trouble?
