Does anyone have an old english font? That is, I'm not in search of caligraphic or scribal fonts, but just need a slight enhancement of the usual roman or computer-modern font set that includes the thorn (a "p" with an extra stem upwards) and the eth (sort of \partial with a dash through it, or a D with a dash through it). I have the latest version of TeX82 and mf84, but can't find anything that gives me these characters. Thanks!

Just curious: could an Old English font be referred to as
The Serif Of Nottingham?
