'guifontset' being empty is usually not a problem; and 'guifont' can be empty (giving some "default" font); but in any case you need fonts installed at a place where gvim can find them in order to run it as a GUI. You may want to check if the relevant xfonts package (or whatever it is called) is installed on your system; how to check that varies from one distribution to the next. Then you may try to set 'guifont' yourself, as explained in messages posted a few minutes ago in the thread "Differences with Vim 7".
Certainly there are lots of fonts installed, but perhaps gvim doesn't know where they are and maybe I need to investigate whether I have to set some specific flags for the build so vim will know what to do.
