Please develop rendering support for traditional mongolian script.

A major barrier for me to move from Window to Mac is that Mac doesn't have rendering support for my own language: traditional Mongolian, whereas Microsoft does it pretty well. For example, for this major news website in traditional Mongolian: http://www.mgyxw.net/, IE is able to show everything but Mac cannot. Please develop this support as soon as possible (and also the keyboard input support as Microsoft did).😠

Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Could you post a screen shot? It looks to me like the text of this site is not in standard unicode, but in some sort of private use area encoding. If that is the case, you can be sure Apple will never support display of this page. Have you installed some special custom font to see it?

A correct Unicode page is at

PS For reading Unicode standard trad. mongolian text in OS X, download and install one of the AAT fonts here:

There is also a keyboard layout available on the site.
