I ended up using an 8 point Arial in my 20x20 icon version of the maintained window. What I had to do, though, was make sure that the :SS portion of HH:MM:SS was beyond the text object bounds to keep it from wrappng to multiple lines while still presenting the user with the information theyneed in a (mosly) readable size. (The text objectended up being 18x8 spaced 1 pixel from the left/bottom edge of the icon)
