Hope to add a windows font to a face of a dial

Hello to this kind community. I am trying to figure out a way to add numbers (0-9) to a circular face for a counter. I would like to use a font I have, but could settle with a font in OnShape if I needed too. Here is a mock-up of what I am trying to achieve in the end. I would like to have the numbers on a sketch to extrude off the face. I am just not sure if what suggestion you may all have to do this.
I have though of making the numbers as an DFX and adding them to the face. But would rather try and do it in the sketch.
Here is my test:

AFAIK, though, it can only support Onshape fonts.
I made a copy of your doc and used the feature to get you started:
