Keep scoreboards stable while fonts download

Original applied analysis · Practical browser-game engineering · First published 23 October 2026

The practical problem

Decorative fonts can make a neon UI distinctive but also move counters after loading and delay interaction on a weak device.

Implementation protocol

Prefer system fonts for small controls and number labels, or reserve tabular numeral widths. Load ornamental display families only where they improve the design.

Worked scenario

A score changing from 99 to 100 must not shift neighboring Pause and Undo controls when the custom typeface becomes available.

What could go wrong

Subsetting without testing can omit symbols and localized characters.

Acceptance criteria

Audit at different zoom settings and with a cold cache.
