Fixed width or separate font for the clock

Description

I have the clock in format "%d %a %T", so I have seconds displayed. When the time changes from, say 20.32.00 to 20.32.01, the whole panel to the left of the clock jitters left and right. Since most digits in non-monospace fonts have different widths, it happens almost every second. This could be fixed by giving the clock a fixed width (but there is no such option) or using a monospace font, but it does not look nice having a monospace font for the whole UI.

So, could we please have the clock with a fixed width or the possibility to set a monospace font for the clock separately from the font used for the rest of the UI?
