Vim's implementation of the option guifont supports a comma separated list of fonts to test, Neovim-GTK's version doesn't.
The guifont option in Vim supports having a list of fonts to test; if the first font listed is not available then it tries the second, and so forth until it finds one available or defaults on the system's default one.
When I tried this with Neovim-GTK, the editor failed to match the font trying to match the entire string, although the first listed font was available on the system. When I removed the trailing fonts in the list (from second to last), Neovim-GTK was able to load the font using the setting guifont.
