+ Description: Mongolian for LaTeX (Cyrillic)
+ System Requirements: e-LaTeX2e (limited functionality with LaTeX2e)
+ Fonts in Cork encoding (T1) are
+ required; they are considered
+ to be an integral part of any
+ up-to-date LaTeX2e installation.

+
+0. Introduction
+
+MonTeX (Mongolian for LaTeX) is a modular package which provides
+Mongolian to the LaTeX user community.
+
+The present package represents Implementation Level IIa and provides
+the Cyrillic script in immediate and transliteration modes.
+
+In addition, it is possible to have short portions of Mongolian script
+(`bicig') in the document, both horizontally and vertically, but for
+enjoying vertical output it is necessary that PostScript support is
+installed. Most modern LaTeX installations come with PostScript
+anyway so this should not be a very difficult problem.
+
+Subsequent implementation levels add more features: scripts,
+writing directions, etc.
+
+
+1. Installation
+
+Remove all old files of previous MonTeX Implementation Level I
+installations, including the font bitmaps (*.pk) and tfm files.
+
+Unpack the archive montexivu.tgz in some temporary directory.
+
+teTeX users can proceed to section 1.1, MikTeX users should read
+section 1.2.
+
+
+1.1 teTeX (and other TeX systems based on the TeX Directory Structure)
+
+Create subdirectories, either in your main TeX installation, or
+in any local tree, with the following structure:
+
+ mkdir $TEXMF/tex/latex/montex/
+ mkdir $TEXMF/fonts/source/public/mfinput/mls/
+ mkdir $TEXMF/fonts/tfm/mls/
+ mkdir $TEXMF/doc/montex/
+
+Copy the appropriate contents into the newly created directories:
+
+ cp $TMP/texinput/* $TEXMF/tex/latex/montex/
+ cp $TMP/mfinput/* $TEXMF/fonts/source/public/mfinput/mls/
+ cp $TMP/tfm/* $TEXMF/fonts/tfm/mls/
+ cp $TMP/doc/* $TEXMF/doc/montex/
+
+Rehash the file name database by executing texhash.
+
+Execute texconfig and proceed to menu item <hyphenation>
+for creating a format file with Mongolian hyphenation
+patterns. You will have to edit the file language.dat (which
+appears in the editor window automatically) and insert
+the following line (perhaps somewhere after Hungarian (magyar)
+and before Norwegian (norsk):
+
+mongolian mnhyphen.tex % mnhyphex.tex % No exceptions now.
+
+in the list of languages.
+
+There is no need to procure the graphics and rotating packages
+externally since they are provided with teTeX.
+
+GhostScript and GhostView are also regularly found on UNIX and
+notably Linux systems so there should be full-fledged off-the-shelf
+support for the vertical text capsules offered by MonTeX.
+
+eLaTeX is included in modern teTeX versions, too.
+
+Please also make sure you have the diagnose.sty tool somewhere,
+as well as LGR Greek fonts.
+
+1.2 MikTeX
+
+Read and follow the instructions in the file MIKTEX.
+
+Get the graphics package and the rotating packages as well as
+GhostScript if you want to print portions of vertical Mongolian.
+
+The latex packages can be found at CTAN (both in the Internet and
+on CD-ROM) under
+
+ macros/latex/packages/graphics
+ macros/latex/contrib/supported/rotating
+
+GhostScript versions can be found at CTAN, too, in the
+/support/ghostscript/gnu subdirectory.
+
+
+2. Running MonTeX
+
+MonTeX is now ready for use. It is activated by stating
+
+\usepackage{mls}
+
+in the preamble of your document.
+
+You can provide options for the document language and/or the
+input file encoding, like
+
+\usepackage[xalx,mls]{mls}
+
+which prepares a document in Modern Mongolian using the MLS
+encoding. Consult doc/montex.tex for details.
+
+
+3. General Remarks
+
+When using MonTeX for the first time you may observe a
+seemingly unusual font generating activity. By default,
+MonTeX uses the T1 encoding, and requires these fonts
+to be available. If you happened to use the old TeX font
+encoding (known as OT1---and you may have been unconsciously
+doing so for all your previous documents) then prepare
+for anything between a few minutes and an hour (depending
+on your system's speed) for the fonts to be computed.
+
+This is a singular event and will not bother you later on.
+
+The user documentation montex.tex contains many typeface
+examples (in fact, unusually many for an average document)
+so the display and printing of this document does not
+reflect ordinary usage.
+
+
+4. Points of Concern for emtex users
+ -----
+
+emtex does not offer RL capabilities, and thus you will
+not be able to generate pure Mongolian or Manju documents
+on an emtex system. If you want to stick to a DOS-ish
+environment then the fptex system, available on CTAN, is
+recommended.
+
+It is however possible to execute all the functions MonTeX
+has been offering before Implementation Level IV.
+
+Under emtex, the document montex.tex requires substantial
+basic memory (below 640kB) for printing, and printing only.
+The typeface demonstration contained in the documentation
+loads a plethora of fonts (around twenty or so) which will
+force emtex's printing program to abort if available
+`conventional' memory is below 500 and a few kilobytes.
+In this case there are basically two choices: temporarily
+remove some device drivers, or start the program directly
+from the DOS prompt. Shells (even like Norton Commander and
+friends) sometimes eat exactly these 2 kB of memory which
+decide on failure or success. If nothing helps, open the
+file montex.tex in your editor, go to the line near no. 12
+and change the parameter of "FontSamples" from "6" to "1".
+You can now see whether the printer driver generates all
+necessary fonts without problems. Increase the FontSamples
+parameter step by step until all fonts are built, and try
+to print the document again.
+
