Yes and you can even manipulate the setting on the fly. For example I
have this in my .vimrc:
if has("gui_running") && (has("win32") || has("win64"))
nnoremap <C-Up> :silent let &guifont=substitute(&guifont, ':h\zs\d\+',
'\=submatch(0)+1', '')<CR>
nnoremap <C-Down> :silent let &guifont=substitute(&guifont, ':h\zs\d\+',
'\=submatch(0)-1', '')<CR>
endif
which allows to increase/decrease my font size by using Ctrl+Up/Down.
This only works for Windows, as other guis have possibly a different
value for the option guifont, therefore this is wrapped into the test
for Windows and a running GUI.
