There are several possibilities around (I need these symbols as a theoretical physicist, and also need the "script Dee" for functional integration measures.) One good possibility is rsfs10 (Ralph Smith's formal script) which was created by a physicist and does a fairly nice job. It can be found on most of the regular archives, and in particular it is on labrea.stanford.edu (36.8.0.47) as (I think) rsfs.shar (I shoudl know since I arranged to put it there :( That file is shell archive which will have to be unpacked and metafont run to make the pk fonts. If that is not satisfactory drop me a note and I should be able to roust up a complete set of .pk files in Apple LW mode. More exotic modes you're on your own. There are several good postscript fonts for these characters as well. One really nice set is in MathematicalPi-Two from Adobe, but the font encoding is completely wrong for TeX, so to use the characters you have to literally call them "by hand" one at a time. For "Dee" it's not so bad since you almost never need the script or scriptscript sizes, but for Aitch and Ell it's something of a pain. Still, if you take the time the results are much nicer. Anyone know of other choices? TLM
