It looks as though they want it to be possible for Numbered Bar Regions to disaply with the same font as Multi-bar Rest Bar Counts. As things stand the only way to achieve this is to set Multi-Bar Rests to use a Plain text font, then set the same (plain text) font for Numbered Bar Regions.

Might it be possible for Numbered Bar Regions to have a Music Font option in future?

If you want a text font that has music-style numerals, then any of the pre-SMuFL fonts should do.

(Sebastian works because it has music symbols in the Finale original positions, too.)

Indeed. It feels like an oversight (to me) that Numbered Bar Regions are one area that don’t have a Music Font option, though, though I realise that there’s potentially additional coding to do to make things like (1-8) play nicely with SMuFL.
