I find it easier to let Lilypond stack the figures:
g_"6"_"4"
g_"6"_"4"_"3"

For the latest Lilypond versions, I use the following declarations:

#(define text-flat '((font-relative-size . -2)
         ((raise . 0.2) (music "accidentals--1"))))
#(define text-natural '((font-relative-size . -2)
         ((raise . 0.35) (music "accidentals-0"))))
#(define text-sharp '((font-relative-size . -2)
         ((raise . 0.35) (music "accidentals-1"))))

Example of usage:

c_#text-sharp c_"6" _#text-flat _"2"
c_#`(rows "4 " ,text-sharp " 7") _"2 2 4"
