If it meets your needs, you should enable it. It was intended to
help you, but I wasn't sure if it would be the right thing.
I left it disabled because I was unsure if it would be suitable.

Maybe you should add some comments to document it.
If any paragraph from my email has been helpful, feel free
to put it in a comment.

Notice that two of them are multiplied by 9. That gives them
a stronger influence over font order. I think you'll want to use
those for hiragana and katakana, and to use the others for
kanji and the yen symbol. If you need more spares, add them.
