In gedit, one help page for font is at
/usr/share/help/en_GB/gedit/gedit-change-default-font.page
In there, it give instruction about how to use gedit itself to select a
new font.
<title>Change the default font</title>
<p><app>gedit</app> will use the system fixed-width font by default,
but you can change the default <app>gedit</app> font to suit your
preferences.</p>
<steps>
<title>To change the default font in <app>gedit</app>:</title>
<item><p>Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the

<item><p>Click on the current font name. <app>gedit</app> will

<item><p>After you have chosen a new font, use the
<gui>slider</gui> under the list of fonts to set the default font
size.</p></item>

It will be prettier if you view it in a browser.
In gvim, the font is selected in .gvimrc, the configuration file.
Something like
set gfn=Terminus\ Bold\ 14
So, find the font name in gedit, and add it to the .gvimrc file.
You can find the files contained in a package, say gedit, by
rpm -q --filesbypkg gedit
