In principle, it's not Linux, but the GUI.  That's why it's mentioned near the 
top of the :version output.  In practice, today* most would use the GTK2-GNOME 
build, as I do, and ...

I see your problem; if the first font in guifont is invalid, I get what appears 
to be Sans in the size the first font, which isn't even a monospace font and so 
looks awful.  Experimenting, GTK seems to try and guess the best font to use; 
if I set guifont=mono\ 8,Symbola\ Semi-Condensed\ 8, where "mono" is not valid, 
I get Monospace 8.

* GTK3 is looming.  I don't like some of the design decisions of GTK3, but more 
importantly the Gnome 3 attitude (they know best, and are contemptuous of those 
who disagree) rankles.  I keep vowing to try out vim-qt.
