Mongolian Cyrillic uses the same alphabet as Russian, but with two extra characters, Өө and Үү. Unfortunately these are not included as options in any of the Cyrillic keyboard layouts included with OS X, so you need to use the Character Palette or install a custom layout. Typing Russian when system tune-up cannot be done: at work or in a hotel's business center Windows or Mac computer. If you need to write in Russian, but you are not using your own PC, say you are in an Internet-cafe or in the library, where you can read Russian but can not write - cannot use Windows Control Panel to enable system keyboard tools for Russian, then it's still Ok, there is an easy.

Cyrillic Fonts For Mac

Special Note for Mac OS 9 & X Users:

Mac 10 includes basic fonts and keyboards. For most users this is all that will be necessary. To engage the fonts and keyboards in system 10.* go to System Preferences and choose International. Choose Input Menu and you will see a long list of input options. In some cases you are provided the option of the typewriter layout of the language and a layout more user friendly to North Americans. For example, for Russian you may choose Russian which uses the typewriter layout found in Russia or Russian-Phonetic which uses the homophonic layout preferred by many Americans.
