Following Chris Smith's advice, I re-downloaded the Sibelius Demo and checked out their Inkpen font set, in the hopes that the numbers would be more legible than JazzFont's, while maintaining the "handwritten" look.
When I tried the font, I remembered why I hated it in the first place. The numbers *are* more legible than JazzFont (it would be hard to be worse), but they are too oblique, too wide, and too stylized for my taste.
However, after a bit of web searching, I found a couple of good fonts designed for comic book lettering. The numbers in these fonts aren't perfect (what is?) but IMO they are much better than either JazzFont or Inkpen. So, if anyone's interested:
Caroonist Hand:

Cartoonist Hand looks very nice, and it has a round lower-case "a" like real handwriting. I took it.
The other has a weird 4, and no lower-case letters.
Have you tried Dom Regular? There are a few odd-looking characters, but it is commonly available (so you can send files containing it to other Finale users), and is a fairly good match for other Jazz Font characters.
