I'm curious as well. The only think that comes to mind is that in most
fonts, there's usually some empty pixel-line(s) at the top and the
bottom, whereas there often't isn't any empty pixel-lines at all on the
left (and/or on the right) side. So there's more risk of overwriting
useful pixels on the left&right than at top&bottom.
