Hm.

What are the first few lines of the output of ":version" (up to and
including the line ending in "Features included (+) or not (-):" ?
What is the output of ":language"? Do you set it (or part of it) in
your vimrc? Do you set 'encoding' in your vimrc (and to what)? If you
do any of these, in what sequence do the "language", "set enc" and
"set gfn" lines appear in your vimrc?
Which font does your vimrc set? If you set the same font again
manually at startup, (by ":set gfn=some\ font\ name", and see ":help
option-backslash" about what must be backslash-escaped in the value),
does it work? And after that, is that font shown in the output of
":set gfn?"?

(In all cases, type the above colon commands without their surrounding
quotes and followed by <Enter>.)


Best regards,
Tony.
