Thanks Tom. I'm on Windows, so I'm not sure if that will help me, but good
to know all the same.
I'm particularly hoping there's some free (or very inexpensive) font out
there that I can used for platform-independent testing.
Cheers,
RI

Subject: Re: Mongolian script samples
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.
Tom

In particular, IE8beta now supports writing-mode:tb-lr, so I want to include
some real Mongolian script in the tests I am currently putting together for
vertical script support.
Also any suggestions for useful fonts would be welcome. Of the three listed
at http://www.wazu.jp/gallery/Fonts_Mongolian.html only Code2000 seems to be
doing a reasonable job.
