I have numbers at different heights. The number keys are at the top row of the keyboard are the top numbers, the keys q-p are second row etc. The numbers are adjusted so that the cursor stays at the same position, ie it is not shifted to the right as in normal fonts. To enter 6 4 2 I press 6-r-s (in any order). Have a look at Ansgar's page, his font uses the same principal.
