That's beautiful; thanks for the example.
There's just one slight problem -- apart from the tedium of tracking
the glyphs, as you said.
You aren't using the font-switch macros correctly.
The bracing should be as follows:
{\mni ᠥ}{\mnm ᠪᠥ}{\mnf ᠷ}
{\mni ᠮ}{\mnm ᠣᠩᠭᠣ}{\mnf ᠯ }{\mni ᠤ}{\mnf ᠨ}
{\mni ᠡ}{\mnm ᠯ}{\mno ᠡ}
{\mni ᠴ}{\mnm ᠢᠭᠤᠯᠭᠠ}{\mnf ᠨ }{\mno ᠤ}
{\mni ᠨ}{\mnm ᠡᠷᠡ}{\mnf ᠰ }{\mni ᠦ}{\mnf ᠨ}
{\mni ᠢ}{\mnm ᠷᠡᠯᠲ}{\mnf ᠡ}
... so that the scope is limited to just the characters that need
the particular variant.
In an isolated example like this, the output is the same.
You will see the difference when mixing snippets of Mongolian
with text in other (e.g. Latin) alphabets.
