For the VALUE/FONTS, color the text, red, green, blue, (or whatever), and use OCR (or another cool techno type font).

Place this text somewhere away from needle sweep and gauge data area (I like outside in a corner of the square background - behind gauge).

Make sure the gauge BACKGROUND and BACKGROUND HATCH are not black.
Now here's the cool part.

For BACKGROUND/VALUE, unselect TRANSPARENT, and make the background black.
Now you have an analog gauge and a digiital one!

(Thanks to Paul for the tips on this one.)
