Date Format with custom uppercase & spaces

[CrimsonBloodfang]

Hello, I'm trying to use the font Anurati for the date format (%A) in background clock and I don't know how to make it all in uppercase. I also need each letter to have a space from each other.

As you can see, just placing %A doesn't showcase the full design of uppercase fonts like Anurati. I guess GNOME just provides the default lowercase fonts for custom fonts that don't have any?

Ideally, I would love to see it like this with a space in between each letter.

If there are no spaces, the Anurati font would look like this.

I would really like an option in the extension for these specific use cases. If there are workarounds in the meantime, I'd like to know about it.

I am using GLib.DateTime.format which can't do things like this. You would need a function to return a custom string based on the day.

    _updateClock(){
        let clock = GLib.DateTime.new_now_local().format(this._clockFormat);
        // let date = GLib.DateTime.new_now_local().format(this._dateFormat);

        this._clock.set_text(clock);
        // this._date.set_text(date);
        this._date.set_text(this._formatDay());
    }

    _formatDay(){
        //number between 1-7 as string
        let day = GLib.DateTime.new_now_local().format('%u');

        switch (day) {
            case '1': return 'M O N D A Y';
            case '2': return 'T U E S D A Y';
            //
            default: return '';
        }
    }
