Is there a simple way to make 3d numbers in a specific font?

Hi everyone! I am new, and I am just getting into 3d printing. I would like to print some numbers for my house so it is easier for people to find our home but I want to use some mid century modern fonts. Is there an easy way to bring 2d text into Onshape and extrude the shape vertically so that I can put it through a slicer and 3d print it? Thanks in advance!!!!
All the Best,
Mike

Yes, because it's a very specific font, you will need to generate it outside of Onshape (For example Google docs) then convert it into a dxf using inkscape. From there, you can import it into an Onshape sketch to be extruded.
