When using DPI Aware, the space between digits in times and the timer (but not in regular text) is excessive:

This behavior seems to be independent of the font used.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Times and Timer views with DPI Aware enabled and disabled, comparing digit spacing while checking that regular text is unchanged. Trace the text-rendering path for those views and the DPI-scaling behavior; done means spacing is no longer excessive for the affected views across the fonts tested.
