It is not clear if you are generating this by hand (Ie a human typing it
in) or automatically.
By hand, remember that when you change to Heebo black, it remains that
way for each new letter that you type. If you go back to put the number
there and move your cursor, it could well change from regular to black.
So, go back to each number, select it (left click cursor moved over it)
and choose regular.

Since there is presumably far more stuff in black than regular, just
type it all in black and then select the numbers and change them to
regular. How many numbers do you have? 3, 10, 4987564? While the first
two are hardly tedious, the latter could well be.
You could probably set up a two column table, with the first column
being the numbers and the second that text. Then slect the first column
and change its font.

Writer with tables will do it as well.
