Just put a horizontal bar under the number.

Yes. Since I wrote last, I looked at some other d20. They solved the
problem by using:

sides=[1,2,3,4,5,"6.",7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20];

here is a sides array where opposite faces sum to 21:

sides=[1,2,3,4,5,"6.",7,8,"9.",10,15,14,13,12,11,17,18,19,20,16];
