07 / Swap

Swap VT323 without a jump

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

None of the fonts that look most like VT323 sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.

Fallback while it loads

Until VT323 loads, this sets Courier New in its place at 66.7% of its size, so running text keeps VT323’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.
