When it comes to Georgian I have very very bad news...
Unicode's UAX #11: East Asian Width specifies how many columns a given character is supposed to take up, even for characters that aren't used in East Asia.
"ლ" for instance is U+10DA in Unicode and for whatever reason its width is explicitly specified as "Narrow". 🤦

However, the good news is that there's exactly 1 (one) modern font in the entire world which supports monospace Georgian: DejaVu Sans Mono.

On top of that, there are two more up to date clones/forks of that font:

  • "Menlo" by Apple is a font you can't use because Apple's licensing terms only allow it to be used on their devices. Since I don't want you to violate those terms I urge you to definitely avoid visiting this page: https://github.com/ueaner/fonts
    It's recently been replaced by "SF Mono" which doesn't support Georgian.
  • "Hack" is another clone, but it's open source and is the default font for KDE. You can find it here: https://sourcefoundry.org/hack

Out of all of these, I recommend using Hack since it's the most modern one. If you download Hack, I recommend against using their .exe installer. Just download the .zip instead, extract it, select all 4 files, right click and select to "Install for all users":

Installing fonts for only your own account has been broken for a long time on Windows.

There may be other monospace fonts, but I bet that if it's not a derivative of DejaVu Sans Mono, it won't support Georgian. The only exception is "GNU Unifont" but that's not a font you'll want to use. 😅
