Dimension text KO

Is there a way to have dimension text that is set to be a knock-out, to be in the vertical middle of the KO? As I show below, this is a KO set to x of 1.0 and y of 0.8. I would like for the text to move up slightly to the vertical middle of the KO box. It would allow the KO y setting to be smaller but would provide for some knockout space completely surrounding the text. I didn't see a setting with Dimensions where the text can be vertically positioned in the KO but maybe one does exist.

I believe you have to use a TTF.

Yes, thanks, that seems to work. Did some testing with TTF and non-TTF fonts and all TTF's ended up in the center of the KO box. The non-TTF fonts all dropped to the bottom of the KO, leaving no knocked out area beneath the dimension number and a bunch of blank space above the number.

...and once you use a TTF it drags the drawing to a halt.

This is true for sure.
