It's a good thing you brought up this idea, otherwise we never would have thought of using
numbers ! What a new and never-before-thought-of idea!

LOL. So, someone has to figure out how to put those tiny numbers in there (without it looking horrible, like scaled down vector fonts probably would). I was not really prepared for that.

Pixel font is the only realistic option. Anyone want to make one? Only has to contain numbers 0-9...

...no, leave pixel fonts to me. It'll be 4x6 (3x5 + spacing).

Here:

Top: True anti-aliasing.
Middle: Preview.
Bottom: Fake anti-aliasing.
I'd recommend using the fake anti-aliasing.
