How does this look?

The capital 'A' and lower-case 'o' bother me a bit. It seems inconsistent that all other characters are balanced around their center while the 'A' is close to falling over, and I have no idea what that serif is doing on the 'o'. Otherwise it looks alright to me - my only other objection would the lowercase 'x' seems a bit thin, but I know that diagonals are a bastard to draw in lo-res and it's not a frequently used character, so I wouldn't mind if you kept it that way.

Possibly the lowercase font could also do with a pixel less of spacing, but I'm not sure if it would make it hard to read.

But I like my capital A! :(

I fixed the o and x and reduced spacing for the lowercase letters. The main reasn why I left so much spacing in the first place was to leave room for an outline, but this font is way too big to be used as pop up text on the screen and will therefore be textbox-only.

Thank you for the comment.

I think the "problem" with the capital A is that it looks as though it is italicised (and none of the other letters do). That being said, I don't think it would bother me at all in a game if a letter looked a bit italicised :P
