I don't know any applications for the Mongolian script. The only mongolian
font I have seen is Ulanbatar (ulanbata.zip, TTF format) on Dr. Berlin's
site (http://hopi.dtcc.edu/~berlin/font/mongol.htm).
Before your friends go back home, could you ask them what script is used in
Inner Mongolia (People's Republic of China)? I have contrasting information:
somewhere I read that the Mongolian script is used, somewhere else that a
Pinyin-like Latin spelling is used.
Regards.
