gnome-panel is not maintained by Gnome anymore, but this could apply for
other desktop environments as well.
I don't think this is feasible. A good UI font should have the same
width in its numerals, so things like the clock don't jump around. While
this is true for the fonts Ubuntu has used by default for its UI (Vera
Sans/DejaVu, Ubuntu), if you change to a decorative font like Purisa,
then the problem is in Purisa (or not, I don't know if its creators
intended for it to ever be used for UI).
What you propose has already been done in a media player: Clementine.
And it looks weird.
