Check the MacVim 'Preferences...' in the MacVim menu,
In the Advanced tab uncheck [ ] Enable Quickstart, or
uncheck all items for troubleshooting.

With [x] Enable Quickstart checked the .vimrc file is not reloaded
after changes.

QUIT (really... quit from the MacVim menu 'Quit MacVim', not just
clicking the window red dot) and restart MacVim and check the font
visually and with:

:set guifont?

If it is not fixed more troubleshooting:

I like the separation, terminal vim settings in .vimrc, gvim (MacVim)
in .gvimrc. That has helped me isolate some setting errors.

It may be that some plugin or a setting is clobbering your guifont
setting.

Use MacVim (TextEdit may not be pure plain text) to create a .gvimrc
with only:

:set guifont=Monaco:h14

Remove the guifont setting in your .vimrc, search for more than one
instance of guifont.

Then put 'finish' (without quotes) at the TOP of the .vimrc file so it
skips the remaining settings and only loads the .gvimrc.

If it is good, then you know it is something later in .vimrc.
Move the 'finish' down until you find the culprit.
