In Vim 7, -u NONE (where NONE must be all caps) disables both vimrc and gvimrc, as well as the global plugins. You (François) might try instead to load gvim in the normal manner, then (immediately afterwards) check the output of ":scriptnames" for anything unusual. Or, which 'guifont' are you using? Something complex like Script? If you are, try something simpler like LucidaTypewriter (how to set it will depend on your Vim GUI flavour; for GTK2 it would be ":set gfn=Lucida\ Sans\ Typewriter\ 8" on my SuSE system.
