A Survey on Rendering Traditional Mongolian Script

This paper discusses the rendering issues of complex text layout - traditional Mongolian script. The traditional Mongolian script has been standardized in Unicode. We analyzed existing Open Type fonts and their rendering schemes for traditional Mongolian script. We found some errors, and discovered grammatical rules, which are not documented in international standards. None of the existing Open Type fonts was complete. Also, this paper provides some improvements and recommendations for future development.
