Could you attach an image to show the problem more clearly?

Here are two examples. It doesn't look smaller, but looks like a slightly different font, and definitely lighter.
(to the left your app, to the right system battery icon)

I looked at the APIs, and even if you use [NSFont menuFontOfSize:0.0f] it looks different, even though it's supposed to use the default menu font. Strange.

It is even more visible when you display the remaining time. It looks way off, like it doesn't belong to the menu bar.

Let me just add that from a certain distance you can think of this as passable. Probably 90% of the people won't even notice it, another 9% will notice but simply wont't care. I'm in the remaining 1% :-)

So it's more of an academic issue, doesn't really alter functionality, but definitely strange that the default font doesn't match the System items'

It is barely noticeable, It have been adjusted before to look as close as possible of the original already long time ago. #19, but if you can make it look even closer im open for pull request.
