There aren't any in The Analyst or the standard image.

I don't have a StrikeFont for that, but I do have 2 tools for dealing
with fonts: a font-editor which is not very powerful but should be usable
for this task, and a class struture to convert external fonts into StrikeFont
format (currently understands Berkeley vfont format and TeX .pxl format).
I have to check with my boss under what conditions I can give the stuff away.
