vim 7.3 is current. Whether 7.1 behaves other than 7.0 in your use case
- I don't know. Just try it - there is not that much which can go wrong:

VIMRUNTIME=/grid/common/share/vim/vim71 bin/gvim

Verify that the vim71 path exists, otherwise try to locate it.
vs /usr/bin/gvim (I guess this picks up the right VIMRUNTIME on its own)

Howover this all is probably not related to the .vimrc issue.

You can define such an alias in your .bashrc or .bash_profile file:

alias gvim="path-to-gvim -u ~/.vimrc"

If gvim still doesn't load your .vimrc then I don't know how to help.

How to compare fonts in gvim?

:echo &guifont

Copy paste this into your .gvimrc to hardcode it. Select other font by dialog this way: :set guifont=*
