I don't have the time now, but someone should get the MetaFont sources for the
Tibetan font available from one of the CTAN archives (ftp.dante.de perhaps)
and use it as a template to make a fixed-width BDF font. Generate the font
at 100dpi using the "next-scrn" font generation mode and you can import the GF
file into xmbdfed for editing.
For other scripts coming in Unicode 3.0:
A reasonable fixed-width classical Mongolian BDF font is available for free
from Dr. Oliver Corff:
http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~corff/im/MLS/overview.MLS.html
Dr. Corff also has the MetaFont sources for the Yi syllabary.
