This is my config file, again not showing the clock in a book, only when connected to the PC:

Maybe someone could post their working configuration with a ttf font?

I'm 99% certain that it's the placement for the truetype font, it will be different than the other fonts initially in the file. The size 24 for the truetype fonts is very large, so that probably is placing it off screen.

For my Glo HD, initially I've used 867 and 1405 as you have. But for the truetype font section, I decreased the font size to match the page number size. This is the truetype section I'm using to align with the page numbers:

truetype=contra.ttf
truetype_format=%H:%M
truetype_size=8
truetype_x=937
truetype_y=1403
truetype_fg=BLACK
truetype_bg=WHITE

See if that doesn't show the font for you. Then adjust the x and y pixel placement if needed, and the font size if you find 8 is too small for you. Remember if you enlarge the font size, you will have to decrease the x and y placement to compensate.

I'm using Georgia font, so you might have to adjust the x and y and size for your specified font.
