Great font! :-) I just have some ideas for the following characters:
The slash on the zero is the wrong way, how about making it into a dotted zero instead (so that it's different from the Ø)?
Also, I think the Ø and ø glyphs would look better without those extra pixels on top and bottom.
I also think that the Æ glyph is way to wide, look at my example for two different versions, one which is 8 pixels wide and another which is 9 pixels wide.
(The O, A, and E glyphs is just for comparsion).
Ok, forget about the zero. I guess it's ok to have the slash the other way. From Wikipedia[1]:
"Some Burroughs/Unisys equipment displays a zero with a reversed slash"

@Goatmeal: Thank you so much!
@farside: Thanks for all the feedback. I've changed the Ø's, and shortened the Æ. And I guess my 0 is gonna have a reversed slash. ;-)

A terrific 8x7 pixel font, and I like the cloud/color effect on your sample.
I look forward to more pixel offerings from you!
