Jim,

You are correct about this. When I did the 140MPH face decals I ran into 
the exact same thing. The lettering and numbering does not match any standard 
font style that I was able to find either. In order to match the other gauges 
in the cluster, many of the numbers I used on my faces were actually 
re-created from scratch by hand. This all takes quite a bit of time and 
effort to get right. Good Luck with your project.
