In article <169@ub.d.umn.edu> I wrote:

<2. A bold italic font in the Computer Modern family.

Thanks to Gerald Edgar for pointing me to cmbxti and cmmib.

<3. PostScript equivalents of cmmi and cmsy that are visually compatible
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I should add cmex to this list.  Also, to avoid confusion, I should
point out that the letters a..z and A..Z in Times-Italic are perfectly
good substitutes for the letters in cmmi, but I'm looking for the other
symbols in the cmmi font.

<   with the Times family.  (What I want here is to be able to create a
<   document where the main text is Times Roman and everything else is
<   aesthetically compatible with it.  The Computer Modern family of
<   fonts nauseates me.)

<4. Some font that contains an empty set symbol that is a circle with a
<   45 degree slash through it.  (I know I could just teach myself
<   Metafont, but I was hoping for an easier way.)

Thanks again to Gerald Edgar for pointing me to the msym font.  The
empty set symbol occurs in position "3F.
