vimrc debug help

Hi guys,

New to the vim_use group - hi :) Apologies if I'm breaking policy with this! Please point me to policy guides if I am.

I'm struggling to set the guifont from my .vimrc and I don't know how to debug it :( Can you advise?

I've been using vim (I use gvim almost exclusively) for a couple of years, but only tend to learn reactively - I face a problem and I search how to solve it. But I can't seem to fix this one! I've included my .vimrc below. I'm using the command that I believe *should* change the guifont, but it doesn't work from my .vimrc. It gets set to (I guess) the default of 'Monospace 16' whenever I open a new vim window. Can any of you see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

(N.B. I pretty much only code in linux world so I haven't got around to trying to set guifont based on OS.

Also, if you see commands where you infer I'm trying to do something, but you know it won't work, please say :) )

.vimrc:

syntax on

set guifont=Monospace\ 5

set backspace=indent,eol,start

set number

set ignorecase

set hlsearch

set cursorline

set listchars=eol:$,tab:>-,trail:~,extends:>,precedes:<

set list

set lines=15

set columns=80

set directory^=$HOME/.vim/tmp//

set ruler

set autoindent

set noswapfile

filetype plugin indent on

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.v setfiletype systemverilog

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.sv setfiletype systemverilog

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.svh setfiletype systemverilog

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.sva setfiletype systemverilog

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.vc setfiletype systemverilog

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.xml setfiletype xml
