I suggest that you select a font from the dialog (set guifont=*) and
then check font's name with

    set guifont

command. You should see something like this in the bottom of the Vim
window:

    guifont=Tahoma 9

If you want to set that font from the Vim command line or put it in your
~/.vimrc file escape spaces with a backslash (\):

    set guifont=Tahoma\ 9
