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.

Top: True anti-aliasing.
Middle: Preview.
Bottom: Fake anti-aliasing.

I'd recommend using the fake anti-aliasing.

Let me know when a test is ready I would like to try them out.
