Running text within 3% of the width, x-height within 5%
None of the fonts that look most like JuliaMetal sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.
Fallback while it loads
Until JuliaMetal loads, this sets Courier New in its place at 92.6% of its size, so running text keeps JuliaMetal’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.
