Thanks!! Works great and provides functionality I was looking for just recently.
One small nitpick is that when the transport is rolling, the area
displaying the rolling HH:MM:SS.mmm timecode jiggles around since the
font is proportionally spaced. (at least w/ my display and fonts and
setup). Monospaced fonts for such rolling values can prevent this
minor visual distraction.

I think Nils is refering to gjacktransport not gjackclock.
The former is using the gtk-theme-fonts and there's no dedicated
config-option for gjacktransport's SMPTE font, yet.
You should be able to override it with some fancy GTK-config or by
changing the desktop-theme until I get around to fix it.
Thanks for the report. I did not notice it because it's not an issue
with the gtk-theme here.
I do have a few more updates in the queue: both apps still need a man
page, the website is out-of-date and Paul Davis suggested to make
gjackclock's font scale with window-size...
stay tuned,
robin

This fix both improves the looks and doesn't wobble around. Thanks!
For some reason, although I don't like unecessary software emulations
of the way hardware looks (rivets, screws, etc) having a rolling
timecode display use a realistic-looking red 8-segment-LED-looking
font is somehow reassuring and suggestive of what's being looked at.
Having a distinctive monospaced font like you're using is the next
best thing, and easier to implement.

IMHO the best solution would be to look for a 7-segment font. There must
be one freely available. If not it can't be too hard to make one.
Anyway while they may still around in the audio-world, in Film Post-Prod
7seg displays are not that common anymore. Timecode is rendered nicely
on the picture :)
FWIW: if you're into tinkering: I built a jack-transport and LTC display
using real 7 segment displays and a arduino a while ago:
