Hi,

Manipulate[
  Graphics[{Circle[],
    Inset[Style[
      StringJoin["value:",
       ToString[
        NumberForm[N[c], {16, 8}, NumberPadding -> {" ", "0"},
         NumberSigns -> {"-", " "}]]], Blue, 20]]}], {{c, (2 \[Pi])/3,
    "Value c"}, -1, 2 Pi, 0.001}]

and you should use a mono spaced font, otherwise the different width
of the characters will make problems.

Regards
   Jens
