Default Do you know the font Windows 10 uses for the default Date & Time display?

In response to what Arlen Holder wrote :

In short, the system timezone is changed randomly during the day, so I need
a "real" clock that tells me the actual current time in my own time.


BTW, in terms of fingerprinting & non-cloud privacy, for the Windows
freeware folks, since the system clock is randomly changed by a privacy
script, that's why I had to find freeware local "calendars" and "alarms"
which didn't depend on the system time zone.

It's not easy implementing a privacy policy against fingerprinting, where
not only my newsreader strategy, but even my browser strategy is part of
that privacy based anti-fingerprinting policy.

If folks have better or different privacy-based anti-fingerprinting
strategies, I'm all ears.

I have a clock, a watch and cell phone for this.Â*Â* Have you thought of this or are you scared of your privacy?

*Clock*:
We have a single large wall clock in the house which is synced to a time
server, and which the house uses as the local time.

*Watch*:
Stopped wearing them years ago because they kept getting smsshed working
on stuff and falling off cliffs.

*CellPhone*:
Broke many but I kept buying them (unlike watches) which is what I use for
time when I'm out and about.

*Computer(s)*:
What I use when I sit at a computer.
(Although the system clock tz is randomized.)

*Oven, microwave, DVD player, etc. clocks*:
All blinking... (too much of a PITA to deal with, particularly given we
have dozens of power outages in certain years (although PG&E has been
better lately).

How about others?

Update
o https://i.postimg.cc/hGrL20ZK/dsclock04.jpg

Due to a BSOD randomly causing the machine to need to be reimaged
o Windows 10 BSOD indicates a hardware problem - but what hardware is the problem?
https://alt.comp.os.windows-10.narkive.com/oL7PTNKu/windows-10-bsod-indicates-a-hardware-problem-but-what-hardware-is-the-problem

I'm yet again setting up a new system & forever honing the tutorials,
where I just got to the point of setting up a separate user clock
(which is completely divorced from the default System Clock).

etc.

Regarding:
o Does a clock app exist that has ClocX functionality, but digital output?

And the problem set:
o What is WINDOWS free Clock completely separate from actual system time zone
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/whXIfS6Xsfg

I found an even better place to put DSClock digital output!
o Syntax = dddMMMdd|#085 (i.e., SatAug29|7:19 AM)

Using these fonts and background colors to match the taskbar:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/LmfYs2a4o0Q
o Font = Segoe UI Semibold 9 pt
o Background = R=35, G=57, B=66

And placing the clock over the regular time/date display:

Note I already removed both Cortana & Action Center taskbar icons.
