In theory it should work, as long as the Kobo isn't set to a Chinese/Japanese locale (which use different system GUI fonts) and with the understanding that what I said is true today with firmware 4.22.x. Obviously I can't speak for any future firmware.

Another thing to be aware of is that Georgia is one of the fonts used for fallback if the user's chosen font doesn't contain a particular special glyph. So when choosing a "replacement Georgia" you'd perhaps want to make sure it didn't have a very limited glyph set. Unless dyslexic-friendly far outweighs fallback font considerations, which in these circumstances I guess it might.
