For many years I've used 10x20 as my default font for everything (xterm/rxvt/emacs/twm menus/...). It's
full name is -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso8859-1
The letters are elegant, the lines are thick, and my eyes are not strained. I use
a 800x600 laptop display (TP 560x), which can fit one 80x28 rxvt or a similar-sized emacs.
I bind many function keys so that I can quickly switch
among the various ssh (in rxvt), emacs, lynx (in rxvt), and galeon
windows.
I'm using a Debian testing system (XFree 4.3.0) with sub-pixel
rendering, although I don't know whether 10x20 benefits from it,
but it looks very nice as it is.
