   Does anyone know where I can locate the fancy script font found in many 
   mathematical journals such as the Bulletins of the American Mathematical 
   Society? I have looked through the pk directory in ymir.claremont.edu but
   with no luck. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.


I am not quite clear on which fonts you talk about but my guess is 
the ones that come with AMS-LaTeX. If you get the AMS-LaTeX
distribution, you get the .tfm and .mf files for these fonts too
(including Cyrillic). You can generate all the pk files from these.
I am not clear how easy would it be to use these fonts without NFSS.
Since you are writing from a math department, installing AMS-LaTeX may
be very useful.
