Steps to reproduce this

Steps:

1. Call nf() with a negative number and extra left padding.
2. Display the formatted number.

Snippet:

function setup() {
  createCanvas(400, 400);

  background(220);

  // Format a negative number with
  // extra left padding.
  let num = nf(-123, 5);

  // Style the text.
  textAlign(CENTER, CENTER);
  textSize(32);

  // Display the text.
  text(num, 200, 200); // 0-123
}

Here's the sketch for reference.
