Have you tried using the Bartholomew/Belsley fonts in the info-mac archives?
They're remappings of the Times/Helvetica fonts that include some symbols and
diacritcial marks.

I use the Bartholomew font a lot; not because it bothers me to use Symbol, but
because Symbol font on the LaserWriter Plus *does not* print bold and
bold-italic styles! Does anyone else find this horribly annoying, or what? What
in the world were they thinking when they decided to omit these styles. Anybody
who uses Symbol characters to represent a vector or matrix, and follows
traditional typographical rules, will want the bold style.

Sorry, didn't mean to rant. I'm writing my thesis too. :-)
