--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Stuart->Viktor,  "Tofus" -- has what meaning?

Otherwise, I probably am unable to assist here. International keyboards with an
AltGr key are not common in the U.S. market. I am reluctant to install the
provided keyboard.

But I will say that for the attached 'Old Hun Emese' font, when it is installed
on Windows, LibreOffice does accept its use of the Unicode reserved codepoints
in the Old Hungarian block.

LibreOffices 'Special Characters' dialog maps them onto its character chart,
and the full set of Rovas is available to pick to insert (or add to favorites).
And on document canvas--the <Alt>+x shortcut will toggle each glyph to its
Unicode hexidecimal value, e.g. 
𐳈 will become U+10CC8 -- and the reverse.

Through the 5.4 releases we had an Edit buffer for the Special Character dialog
that provided a useful Input Method Editor (IME) alternative to AltGr or macOS
'Press & Hold' app (bug 42437) input, it was unfortunately stripped out but
have opened bug 115477 to restore it.

So, for now for Windows users I suggest an installation of the BableStone [1]
project's BableMap (current 12.0.1.7).

Again, beyond that, I am not able to help here with issues with an AltGr
keycode.
