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

Fallback while it loads

Until Oleo Script loads, this sets Arial in its place at 85.5% of its size, so running text keeps Oleo Script’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.
