Hi @ONEproject, thanks for taking the time to report this!
@ONEproject: Do you plan to fix this yourself? Asking as you set yourself as task assignee.

Please provide exact license information for the proposed font(s). They must be under a free software / open source license.

Within many code pages, CMs (Classical Mongolian script) by Peter Cheung (aka dEgi, Taiwan) became de facto for DTP applications, digital typesetting and word processing in Mongolia until Microsoft Vista`s built-in IME support was released. A set of TrueType font CMs Ulaanbaatar, CMs Huree and CMs Urga (1998) is widely used because of its simplicity: no need of extra keyboard drivers and programs. Thousands of contents are stored in this codepage and in CMs fonts. Orthography dictionary of UNESCO project , Lingua Mongolia Mongolian-English Dictionary and many more systems are utilizing CMS codepage. Thus, developing CMs support scheme for TMSDL is becoming crucial matter in terms of content enrichment of TMSDL and disambiguation of words which have same pronunciation by using orthography dictionary .

You can see table https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xRPDcyzKMb0nyBDnyyu8ACxmPdQdjWk6J9rDSFeYUdE/edit#gid=0
CMs Ulaanbaatar font is not commercial font. It's "Personal Use" like as "Arial" etc (http://www.fonts2u.com/cms-ulaanbaatar).
