Dear Jargal,

Welcome! I know absolutely no Mongolian, but I made decorative use of
the vertical script in a poster for a seminar I gave on a couple of
13th-century Öngüt monks. The PDF can be seen at
http://www.garzo.co.uk/documents/poster.pdf. I've attached the source
file. As you can see, I've used Code2000, which is not a specialist
Mongolian font, but does the trick (I hope!). The XeTeX manual has
instructions for writing vertical Chinese, which can be followed. As you
can see \rotatebox{-90} is used to turn the text to vertical. I hope
that helps a little. Maybe someday I shall learn some beautiful Mongolian!

Best wishes,

Gareth.
