large font xclock?

I'm trying to get a digital xclock that takes up the entire width of a 1280x1024 panel, or maybe even 1600x1200.  I actually need to run a few-  we need to display GMT time/date and Eastern time/date, but I've got that figured out.  I just can't seem to get xclock to use a larger font.
linux fonts confuse me!
Can I tell xclock to scale the font to be much larger?  (like.. 300 point).  I can't figure out the -fn option..
I tried the xdaliclock, it's largest built in font is almost big enough, but dali's morphing is too gimmicky.

Thanks!

oops.  I'm playing with my keyboard config too... messed it up pretty badly.
Anyways, I still can't figure out how to get a font greater than 24 point.  I think
I need.. like.. 300 point
