Clock doesn't accept newline (%n)

[kenderipa]

Hello,

like it says in the name, the clock doesn't accept the newline symbol (coded in strftime format as %n). Instead the clock displays some sort of hieroglyphic.

Explanation: I have a thin (32 px) vertical panel. The clock is a bit too small (with font size 8) to see if used with standard configuration, so I wanted to split the clock vertically. It didn't work. Of course, one could use two clocks, one above another, each one displaying only hours and only minutes, but it looks a bit incohesive, since the digits are too far apart vertically.

So, any chance of implementing at least this part of the strftime format?

Thanks and regards

@joewing, what do you think?

Unfortunately, I can't say I know off the top of my head what would be involved in making this work, but I would be willing to accept a PR if that's the offer.

Sadly, I'm not a developer, I can just hope that someone else picks this up and creates a PR. But thanks for the answer!
