Bug Description

Greeter's clock currently uses oldstyle figures and fake small capitals.

This type of numerals isn't appropriate for this situation (oldtyle figures are good to use in large texts, as they blend better with the text) and they should be substituted by lining figures.

The fake small caps should also be substituted by regular caps (if the clock uses oldstyle figures) or true small caps (if the clock uses lining figures).
