How to make ARN look better?

I have a "BNSF Dash 9 OYB" by Logman on the DLS, but when I assign it a number using ARN, the number shows up very faint and thin on the engine, and I was wondering if there was a way to make it bigger and look better so I could see it better.
 
That one doesn't have ARN, it has configurable but not automatic running numbers. Dunno about faint, as for too thin most of the BNSF locos I've seen have a pretty thing number font on the side. The ones on the number boards by contrast look too fat on this model.

If you want the simple way, open it for edit, open a different loco with fatter fonts for edit, copy the files from the alpha numbers folder from the fat one to the skinny one and change the color if needed.

Other option, change the fonts in the alphas yourself.

Download and install the DLL package and the DXT/Bmp utility from there, open a TGA with DXT/Bmp, send the alpha to whatever image editor you use, and change the font.
