What mathematical laser fonts are available?

What I need is:

	- logic and theoretical computer science symbols (like the old Ophir
	  bitmap font, but with the squared-off set theory symbols used in
	  domain theory);
	  
	- symbols for the better known algebraic structures (N, Z, Q, A, R, C)
	  (is there a font that looks like these do as usually printed?);
	
	- subscripts and superscripts with little enough leading not to
	  sabotage inter-line spacing in programs like WriteNow;
	  
	- maybe some of the more useful German capital letters.
