Vim isn't there problem, it's your terminal. There is an open feature request with iterm2, but terminal.app is probably a lost cause. I know nothing about the state of Unicode font rendering in Linux.
Konsole is the only terminal emulator I could get it working with, which is annoying because I much prefer rxvt. Konsole does weird stuff with my terminal colors in tmux, so I ended up not being able to use this nice font when I tried it previously.

What about gVim?
