OSX actually has been shipping for a while now with a decent Tibetan font.
Unfortunately Windows' Tibetan font ("Microsoft Himalaya") is in a disappointing state.
See the mashed up letters on row 3, letters 3 and 4 from the left:

The link to purchase the font links to a 3rd party they commissioned the font from, but they no longer seem to sell it.
If you have an OSX and a Windows computer you can compare the font support between them here:

Symbols 0FC5 - 0FC8 are especially poor and almost unrecognizable.
Many letters are missing from 0F75 - 0FBC, which are used for Sanskrit transliteration into Tibetan.
