07 / Swap
Swap Gupter without a jump
Running text within 3% of the width, x-height within 5%
None of the fonts that look most like Gupter sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.
Fallback while it loads
Until Gupter loads, this sets Times New Roman in its place at 95.7% of its size, so running text keeps Gupter’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.
