07 / Swap

Swap Babylonica without a jump

Running text within 3% of the width, x-height within 5%

None of the fonts that look most like Babylonica sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.

Fallback while it loads

Until Babylonica loads, this sets Arial in its place at 57.2% of its size, so running text keeps Babylonica’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.
