Because they ARE included in the cygwin-xfree distribution (just not 
installed into the *windows* font area). So the provided defaults work 
great with rxvt in X mode, and look a LOT better than the *true* default 
for X mode, the 'fixed' font.

I've been meaning to change (downgrade) the app-defaults/Rxvt file to 
something that works okay with stock windows when using rxvt in native 
mode, even if it looks like crap in X mode -- the next time I make an 
rxvt package. So far, there hasn't been a reason (above and beyond this 
configuration issue) to do so.
