 Are You sure? [1] contains 'share/fonts/X11/misc/10x20.pcf.gz' entry.
 I'm not sure about upstream maintainers and their love for "modern", 
 blurry fonts, but - for example - Ubuntu ships 10x20.pcf even in latest
 release [2].

 Because it is usable and pretty (OK, it is matter of taste) font. And my
 default for many years.
