Thanks Grigg,
I still have alignment work to do, but I'm getting closer. This is the best font I've found that will scale. I'm getting tired of working with the font programs because the fonts I've drawn using a mouse aren't that good. I did try making JPEG files from fonts I had drawn on paper, but those lose detail when you convert them to SVG files (they're only as good as your scanner or digital camera) and some of the font programs only recognize specific SVG files and reject the others.
This font choice aside from the number 1 is pretty close and unless you were comparing the two side by side, I'm not certain you'd spot too many differences. If I use this, I'll re-do the other gauges using the same font for consistency. Then I'll make a dial from 1/8 inch plexiglass and a waterslide decal of the gauge faces using a white backed waterslide decal paper. You probably know you can't print the color white with an inkjet or color laser printer unless you get one of the specialty printers. The part I have not decided yet is whether to paint the back side of the plexiglass silver to make it opaque and then white to bounce light around or to leave it unpainted so the dash lights will illuminate the numerals from behind at night. I could also paint it a light blue or green so as to illuminate the numerals at night in either of those colors. The turn signal indicators and hi-beam dot will be leds set in tubes attached to the plexiglass.
