I don't have anything in my .vimrc related to 'sessions' except a call for it in the 'bundle' configuration.

Thanks, for this, Ben. It identified the file for me in which the .gvimrc setting is getting reset. It's the file in which 'sessions' saves the session. I basically have one session. Just use it over and over. When it's loaded it resets the font to whatever it was when the session was first saved.

I created a new session. It now has the font setting as set by my .gvimrc. Problem solved.

Thanks for your help, especially that last suggestion.
