selective rendering of fonts in infinality-bundle

Sorry if I am asking a question about unofficially supported packages. I am using infinality-bundle for my font configuration with combi preset. I would like to selectively choose either slight or full hint for some fonts however I am feeling confused about where I should put them into. I mean I could choose any of these files and insert my configuration into it then it would work:

[root@toyhill /etc/fonts/conf.avail.infinality/combi ]$ ls
30-metric-aliases-combi.conf  37-repl-global-combi.conf  60-latin-combi.conf  65-non-latin-combi.conf  66-aliases-wine-combi.conf  97-selective-rendering-combi.conf

However as their name suggested I really should not put any selective rendering configuration into them b/c they have their purpose. So I thought well I just needed to make another copy of the

/etc/fonts/conf.avail.infinality/97-selective-rendering-custom.conf

and put it under combi/ folder. However, it seems it does not work. I could manually modify this file and make it work but I think the most proper way to add some selectively rendering for fonts would be to put a personal conf file under combi/ folder and back it up manually. But it looks infinality-bundle would just ignore anything I put under combi/ except for those five default conf in there.

So what is the suggested way to do customized font configuration anyway? Thanks!

You could put it in /etc/fonts/conf.d/ as 99-my-settings.sh so that it's the last one that gets loaded and overrides all other settings. If it is its own name, it won't get touched when packages are upgraded, so that might be the most comfortable solution.

Thanks Ropid, I think you meant 99-something.conf in  /etc/fonts/conf.d/ but anyway I understand and appreciate your suggestion. While I hesitated to do that as conf.d is usually used for linking different combination of confs to achieve fast configuration. Anyway I wish infinality could just allow us to put this file under, say combi/ and let it take effect there so if we switch a preset we won't have anything global.

Thank you again

Do you have an example of a customization you'd like to make, to take effect only for a particular "style" of Infinality rendering?
