Ie, at 18 points the ``O'' doesnt close. SO you goto 24 and now the ``B'' doesnt close.

We need it either in Metafont or Postscript format The TeX User's Group has commissioned the translation of the 'AMS Fonts' from old Metafont to new Metafont. These fonts include Blackboard Bold, and the 'Future Fonts' described by 'The Joy of TeX'. I don't know the timetable of the work; I certainly need them immediately if not sooner. ****************************************************************** David Mostardi "Guess what, Dad!

Does anyone know where I can get the Black Board Bold font?
An Ftp site would be nice, but any information concerning
the font would be helpful. Thank you.
