So, apparently there are at least two major web browsers that more or less support vertical writing: Microsoft Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. I updated the template to make it work in Chrome; it's experimental, but to the best of my understanding it works (my version is 17.0.963.65 (Developer Build 124586 Linux) Ubuntu 11.10).
There is a problem, though: Now that it works, Mongolian text embedded in English creates very large line spacing. See the opening paragraph of Nambaryn Enkhbayar for an example. I don't really have anything clever to say about this except that it probably needs some kind of a solution. On IE it worked like that for a while now, but i use IE too rarely to notice. I don't use Chrome very often either, but a lot of people do. And it will work in Firefox one day, too. -- Amir E. Aharoni ( talk) 16:34, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Dear contributors, Mongolian script in unicode still has a long, long way to go before it can render everything accurately. I dont know if this is the right place to say this, but please stop adding script to articles (the majority of them are wrong, or the rendering is not per the grammar/rules). Also, cyrillic to script is not a one-to-one transcription. -- chinneeb- talk 06:30, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
I tried in Template:MongolUnicode/sandbox to make it cross platform compatible. Right now it can be displayed vertically but there are some layout issues in browsers other than IE. See User:Quest for Truth/anchor for demonstration. It seems that the width and height is not swapped when it is rotated 90deg. -- Quest for Truth ( talk) 19:09, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
So is there any way to fix this in Chrome? The current sandbox version uses webkit's rotate, resulting in overlap. Its especially noticable when the text is long. And “-webkit-writing-mode: vertical-lr” just seems to be ineffective at rotating Mongol Script. See: http://i.imgur.com/4wKowXP.jpg . Any suggestions? I'm gonna remove the webkit attributes for now, horizontal text is better than the garbled mess right now. -- chinneeb- talk 16:22, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Could Almas' Mongolian White font be added to the list of font choices. It is the only one that works on Macintosh computers and is the only one that will let the text properly display on an Apple. Freeelf ( talk) 02:54, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
iOS 14.2 Safari unknown version. Don’t need to trouble shoot this, am told it displays correctly on other platforms and am happy to click away if so. Just fyi in case it is helpful, see Inner Mongolia University of Finance and Economics. Elinruby ( talk) 15:38, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
Welp, on iOS 15.4.1 it becomes something worse: a vertical layout of horizontal glyphs, so that the whole thing is disconnected. Honestly not using this template and keeping the native Unicode RTL rendering is better. Artoria 2e5 🌉 02:25, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
Why are there so many overridable parameters to this template ? Are they even in use ? — TheDJ ( talk • contribs) 20:30, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
Yikes.. this templates' usage really needs some cleanup.
