*Which* gvim?  A GTK1 gvim is going to use any XLFD font you care to
name... a GTK2 gvim is only going to use ones served by fontconfig (Xft2).

Unless you tell it otherwise, xterm is more than likely using the 'fixed'
font alias.  Check its app-defaults file to be sure.

If you're running xterm using anti-aliased fonts, then it could be using
anything available to Xft1, which is pretty much, again, any XLFD.

You've got standard X fonts, you've got Xft1-rendered fonts, and you've got
Xft2-rendered fonts.
