RE: Re: About new character set and keyboard driver for XFree86

hi, Batbileg. 
Normally, Mongolian xkb was supported in XFree-4.3 already.
(2002-12-01). 
You can use some unicode font with this xkb.  

It would be useful for your problem. http://www.openmn.org
There is some documentation in your native language. If your problem is
not solved you can contact us.
