The character you describe comes fromt the blackboard bold font.  This is
listed in "The Joy of TeX" (a guide to AMS-TeX) as a future font along with
other fonts such as a script font, a Fraktur font, a font with bold italic
and bold lower case Greek letters, and a cyrillic font.

Does anyone know if these fonts are available?  If so, how/where does one
obtain them?

Thanks,
Geoff Alexander
