One method that I can think of is to find a font that has the required format and create a special list to use the font for the numbering.
I may have something lying about - will have a look and if I can find something will post back
If not there are many sources of free fonts on the net
Edit - I've made a workaround using the Wingdings 2 font which will give you 0 to 10
Have attached a doc file so you can see what I have - it's not perfect as the wingdings2 font does not map accurately and you need to start numbering at "f" but it may help or at least give you furrther ideas
