After I removed the file /usr/share/vim/gvimrc everything worked fine, and
gvim even started with a good font at startup.
That file contained the line:
set
guifontset=-*-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-c-*-*-*,-*-*-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-c-*-*-*,-*-*-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-m-*-*-*,*
Which apparently gave me some problems.
