Well, change the appropriate line(s). I would not recommend setting your
default font to Bold, because then you would lose the distinction (on
the gvim display) between bold (like e.g. the current statusline, or
<b>...</b> in HTML, etc.) and unbold (like the statuslines of
non-current split windows, non-bold HTML, etc.) Yours seem to be the
"GTK2" GUI flavour, in which case the line to change is the "set gfn="
under "has('gui_gtk2')". Increase the number for a larger font, etc. For
size-13 DejaVu Sans Mono Bold (which I don't recommend) on GTK2, I guess
it would be, well, "set gfn=DejaVu\ Sans\ Mono\ Bold\ 13".
The whole idea of the above snippet is to have something readable on all
possible platforms (and 'guifont' nonempty), which you can then tweak if
it isn't exactly what you want. If bitmapped Courier 13 bold is your
favourite font, well insert "set gfn=Courier\ Bold\ 13" under
has('gui_gtk2') and presto! voilà.
Best regards,
Tony.
