Taskbar Font Windows 7 Pro

Question

Hello

How can one change the font &/or font size used for the date and time on the Taskbar?

The font used for the short code date has changed & it uses up too much space.

Is there such a thing as a CSS page in a program were one can change the font &/size? 

Apparently someone at Microsoft thought it ought to be larger. The short code date is taking up too much space.

How can I change the font in Region and Language?

Thanks

This is not a good idea because when you check the "use small icons" box, it removes the date from the task bar and only shows the time.

Besides the "use small icons" has to do with the icons and has nothing to do with the text.  No, it does not change the size of the text even with a reboot. 

As a Microsoft Forum Moderator your instructions ought to include both the pros and cons to your suggested directions and you ought to know the difference between icons and text. 

We are talking text.
