when using putty ssh to a linux machine and redirect X11 display to windows host.
using gvim at the ssh, there is a gvim displayed in windows host.
the font is too small.
take a reference at:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Change_font
adding the flollowing 3 lines to .vimrc on linux
if has('gui_running')
set guifont=Monospace\ 12
endif
then it is OK now.
