Font settings for Gvim on Sarge

[Thorsten Kohl <kohl@imst.de>]

I am using Gvim 6.3.71 on Sarge and like to set the same font as I use
in my Xterms. When I try

set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso8859-1

I get some strangely wide spaced font, which is definitely not the one I
specified. In fact, no matter which X font I specify, I get the same
wrong font.

Obviously Gvim can't access the X fonts and falls back to some of its
own (?) fonts.

I did not have this problem with elderly versions of Gvim, e.g. on
Woody.

Can anybody help ?
