I think those lmodern-fonts you see in your gvim are not True Type
-fonts at all. They are Type 1 -fonts.

Just use a program called xfontsel and try to find a good font. Don't
define charset. Then click "Select". Now that font-definition is in
buffer of your mouse. Paste that fontdefinition to your ~/.Xresources
-file with middle-button of your mouse. If your mouse has just two
buttons, you can emulate middle-button by pressing both puttons
simultaneously.
Create also these symbolic links:
ln -s ~/.Xresources ~/.Xdefaults
ln -s ~/.Xresources ~/.xresources
After each update of .Xresources run this command to enable those
settings immediately:
xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources
Then you need to restart your emacs. Here are my emacs-related
X-resources:

Lines that start with "!" are comments, of course. If setting X-resources
don't work, edit your ~/.emacs and then restart your emacs. Here are my
font-related settings from my ~/.emacs:

my ~/.emacs reads file ~/.emacsen-elisp/common.el . It is for those
