    Hiding date in taskbar impossible with new font


    I've switched to Google Sans font by a registry hack below (+ installed that font of course), and everything works except hiding date in taskbar, and I don't know how to get rid of it. I'm already using small taskbar icons, but there's no difference in time, or date + time showing up while playing with small/normal size. I mean the taskbar size and icons are changing as they should, but the date is always there no matter what size of taskbar is set to be. Can someone take a look at the registry hack and tell me if everything is properly done over there? When switched back to standard Segoe UI system font, it works - the date is hiding when using small taskbar icons and it's back when normal size taskbar icons are set.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    Code:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
    "Segoe UI (TrueType)"=""
    "Segoe UI Bold (TrueType)"=""
    "Segoe UI Bold Italic (TrueType)"=""
    "Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)"=""
    "Segoe UI Light (TrueType)"=""
    "Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)"=""
    "Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)"=""
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]
    "Segoe UI"="Google Sans"

    Are you using 'Large Icons' on any other Toolbars?

    Under normal circumstance, it works here...

    No any other toolbar. Icons size doesn't matter in this case, the date is always there, as mentioned. Strange that everything work as it should when it's switched back to Segoe UI so it might be, in my opinion, something wrong done in the registry hack of this font which I supplied you with in my first post. The name of all fonts which I've installed are named below. These are names of the fonts which I see in explorer. The time is in format XX:XX and date 2019-02-22 as today.

    GoogleSans-Bold
    GoogleSans-BoldItalic
    GoogleSans-Italic
    GoogleSans-Medium
    GoogleSans-MediumItalic
    GoogleSans-Regular

    The fault may lie in the Registry tweak, in my screenshot, I applied Google Sans Medium but I did so with Winaero Tweaker...
