GTK2 ought to be able to find all the fonts installed on your computer,
but it names them differently than GTK1.

Try

:set gfn=*

which will give you a dialog where you can choose any installed font as
your 'guifont'.

*Warning* In gvim with GTK2 GUI, you can select a proportional font, but
it will look ugly, with too much blank space around thin letters like i
or l, and/or too little room around thick ones like m or M, especially
if "thin" letters happen next to each other as in 'illit' or "thick"
ones as in "Hmmmm...".

Best regards,
Tony.
