You set your font for gvim on Mac OS X by including a line like this in your $HOME/.vimrc or $HOME/.gvimrc:

set guifont=Monaco:h14

or

set guifont=Andale\ Mono:h14

If your font doesn't look smooth, you can try adding this line to $HOME/.gvimrc:

set antialias

If you're using Monaco on OSX you might want to try disabling antialias:

set noantialias

-Thanks for the improvements to the tip. I standardised things a little - change if you like. I agree there should be a Fonts category, although I can't think exactly how to organise it at the moment, so I'll leave the job of creating that category for another time.
-However, I don't think a vimrc category is useful here (nearly every tip ''uses'' vimrc, and it wouldn't be helpful to put them all in that category), so I removed that.
