1) Including a different default font would break all existing
applications, since the current default has slightly different metrics
than anything else.

2) The Bitstream font license is questionable; it certainly doesn't fit
with the rest of the Pygame license (LGPL) very well.

Neither one prevents us from including it with Pygame, but it shouldn't
be something default or mandatory.
