Within the gui, you can change the font using Edit -> Select Font, or just use the command 

:set guifont=*.

Once you have a font you like, you'd like to make it the default in the future. Do 

:set guifont?

and Vim will display something like 

guifont=Lucida_console:h11.

Make a note of this string. Now put a line in your .vimrc setting guifont to this value. Done!

Note: Do not forget to escape blanks in the font name with \
