if has("multi_byte")
  if &termencoding == ""
    let &termencoding = &encoding
  endif
  set encoding=utf-8
  setglobal fileencoding=utf-8 bomb
  set fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,latin1
  set guifont=Lucida\ Console:h11
  set guifontwide=NSimSun:h14
endif

You may want to play around with the fonts and sizes to suit your needs.  Remember to escape the spaces in font names.
