In the GTK2 version you can but the results are ugly (wide letters such as m appear cramped and narrow letters such as i appear too far away from their neighbours, since gvim renders every character in one cell of fixed size (or two cells for "wide" CJK characters). For best results, I recommend to always set 'guifont' to some fixed-width font: I use Bitstream Vera Sans Mono at the moment; I have also used Lucida Console and Courier New in the past; in general any font whose name ends in "Mono" "Console" or "Typewriter", and a few others, including most variants of the Courier font, are usable; however bold Cyrillic glyphs of the Lucida Console font are just a tiny wee bit wider (one pixel wider, I think) than their unbold counterparts, and that gives rendering problems in gvim.
