how to get double size font in conky?

Well my question is, how can I get part of a line of text in conky to be twice what the rest of the line is? I have provided a screenshot to help illustrate that issue. I want the time on the right to be twice the font size as the rest of the text over on the left. I want to do this with just one .conkyrc as apposed to using multiple config files. Can this be done in this fashion? Thanks for the help.

You should be able to achieve what you want by changing the font size and the voffset.  Below is what I have used for a clock in the past:

TEXT
${color white}${font aquafont:size=34}${time %l}${voffset -19}${font aquafont:size=14}${time %M}
${color white}${voffset -2}${font aquafont:size=9}${alignr -16}${time %P}    
${color white}${voffset 3}${alignc}${time %a %b %d}

If you don't have aquafont installed you'll have to change that part appropriately.  Hope this helps!
