No -- in fact, it's possibly the worst way that you could do it. The
problem is that you are using normal western characters and then just
making them look a little different. But however they look, they're still
Western characters. Anyone viewing the page with a different font will
still see the Western characters. Anyone accessing the page via a method
that doesn't even involve fonts (search engine spiders, screen readers,
braille tablets, etc) will see the western characters.

To display Georgian characters correctly, simply type the characters and
save the file as in a Unicode format (UTF-8 or UTF-16).
