The problem: on whichever monitor is primary, the clock text is displayed normally with normal width font. However, on whichever monitors are not-primary, the clock text is displayed with a thin typeface.
The thin typeface is just a bit tough to read, particularly on the farthest corners of the displays.
Reproduction:
Earliest reproduction build: 22000.527
Current reproduction build: 22621.1992
Examples:
Monitor A (set as primary):
Monitor B (set as primary):
Monitor C (set as primary):
See how the text is bolder / thicker above, no matter which monitor is primary? But when those same monitors are non-primary monitors, the clock text goes thin!
Monitor A (set as not-primary):
Monitor B (set as not-primary):
Monitor C (set as not-primary):
What I've already tried:
Am I forced to try Elevenclock or is there a way to get the integrated clock's text to remain appropriately thick on all monitors at all times?

Reproduction:
- Have two, or more, monitors.
- AFAIK, that's it.

What I've already tried:
- Enable ClearType.
- Run the ClearType wizard on each monitor.
- Switch which monitors are primary / secondary (see above).
- Change GPUs (reproduces on both Intel iGPU & AMD dGPU).
- Upgrade GPU drivers (reproduces on all current drivers).
- Disable FreeSync. Enable Free Sync. Reproduces either way.
- Change cables (reproduces on both HDMI vs DisplayPort).
