About fonts in gvim, see
http://vim.wikia.com/Setting_the_font_in_the_GUI
On Windows, the command
:set gfn=*
allows you to choose a font by a menu. It's been too long since I've
left Windows to remember, but maybe the display on the bottom of that
dialog is actually an input area, where you can paste any text (e.g.
Georgian text) from the clipboard and see how it would be displayed in
that font.

About using Unicode in Vim (in General), see
http://vim.wikia.com/Working_with_Unicode

To input Georgian characters, you can:
- use a keymap (and create your own if there is no satisfactory one), see
:help 'keymap'
:help keymap-file-format

- use digraphs (and create your own if there are no satisfactory ones)
see
:help :digraph

- and if nothing else avails, you can always use the method described under
:help i_CTRL-V_digit


Best regards,
Tony.
