    Width of characters displayed in command button.

    My application uses 729 command buttons - each of which is used to display the numbers 1 - 9 in 3 rows of 3
    123
    456
    789

    I would like to replace 1 or more of the characters with _ or . or space or * or non-visible character and maintain the spacing - if I use a v it works but I don't like the visual effect. I am looking for some character that is either visible or not and exactly the same width as a digit. A non-printing character would be perfect if same width as standard digits.

    The result I want if replacing 6 and 7 would be:
    123
    45?
    ?89

    Thank you very much

    What if you use a non proportional font such as courier or system?

    I tried both Fonts and neither worked. Any other ideas or Fonts would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    I found that using Terminal Bold 9 point works perfectly.
    Thank you very much for your interest and help
    I was lucky choosing Terminal

    Thank you
