Also, if the font has numbers with different widths (which seems
fairly rare) you still need to paint each number at a fixed position.
You don't want the numbers jumping around when the time changes
the way they would on a JLabel with such a font.

A search for the best font size will take minimal time. You
could optimize that with an initial guess based on the panel
size, followed by something like a proportional search, but
I think you'll find that a simple linear search will be plenty
fast.
