I think 1x1 works 'best'.  It is the one I use the most.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0  

Maybe we could help better if you explained what 'best' means to you?

This is from a smaller version of my "Swan"-figfont, that I'm currently
calling littleswan for lack of a better name.

"Littleswan" early developmentversion , 3x3 digits :

.-.
| |
`-'


 .
'|
'-'


,-.
 /
'--


--.

 ,.
'-|
  '


.--
'-.
`-'

:-.
`-'


--,
 /
'


,-.
:-:
`-'


,-.
`-;
 '


"Swan"s digits are a little too big for you I think .. 5x5 :

  .     .-.   .--.   .  .   .---.     ,   .---.   .-.    .-.    .-.
.'|    (   )      )  |  |   |        /        /  (   )  (   )  :   :
  |      .'    --:   '--|-  '--.    /-.      /    >-<    `-/   |   |
  |     /         )     |   .   )  (   )    /    (   )    /    :   ;
'---'  '---'  `--'      '    `-'    `-'    '      `-'    '      `-'


Though I could try to make them slimmer :

  .     ..   .-.   .  .  .--.     ,  ---.   ..    ..    ..
.'|    (  )     )  |  |  |       /      /  (  )  (  :  :  :
  |      '    -:   '--|  '-.    /.    -/-   ><    `-;  |  |
  |     /       )     |     )  (  )   /    (  )    /   :  ;
 ---   '--'  `-'      '  `-'    `'   '      `'    '     `'

Not standard (4x4 to 3x3) but easy to read.

Diddles to 1, 3, and 4. The 4 still needs something at the top, but there 
just aren't any characters in the right shapes! :(  Also, the 6 should 
look like an upside-down 9, but
     ,
    :-.
    `-'
looks kind of stubby to me.

Why do all my responses "smell like spam"?

But not 7 segment, I gather. (in a 3x5 char cell)

i.e.
 _

Many old displays are also based on 14 segment, and you can get weird alpha

 ---
|\|/|
 - -
|/|\|
 ---

(The top and bottom bars are a single segment)

Draw them yourself or google "14 segment display" for patterns

I was trying to reply to this, but my response got kicked out, "smells like 
spam".  Anyone know why this happens?

Maybe you need to wash?

(actually I myself got a message rejected because it's "too small". I
guess some newsservers don't like ascii-art.
