Mac OS X ships with five (technically four, as one is just a different
weight) fonts capable of rendering Mongolian text: STFangsong; STHeiti
(Light and Regular); STKaiti; and STSong.
Although they come with the system, I would assume there are
restrictions regarding their distribution, since the copyright is
accredited to a Chinese font foundry by the name of Changzhou SinoType
Technology Co., Ltd.
I hope this helps.
