07 / Swap
Swap Pixelzone without a jump
Running text within 3% of the width, x-height within 5%
None of the fonts that look most like Pixelzone sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.
Fallback while it loads
Until Pixelzone loads, this sets Arial in its place at 51.8% of its size, so running text keeps Pixelzone’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

How do I download and install Pixelzone?
Pixelzone comes free from its maker’s repository on GitHub . On its repository there, choose Code, then Download ZIP, and unzip the file: the fonts are in its Pixelzone/TrueType (.ttf) folder. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each TTF or OTF file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open.
