Setting guifont in the _vimrc works just fine in Vim 7.4 on Windows 7. I've 
been using 7.4 since it came out of beta on Windows 7, and I set my font to 
DejaVu Sans Mono in my _vimrc.

To set the font, I always use:

  :set guifont=*

This brings up a dialog for me to select the font as I like it.

Then I can :echo getfontname() to see what that turns into as a Vim option 
value.
