I think that the fonts at 
         ftp.uni-stuttgart.de
 in the directory 
         /soft/tex/fonts/metafont/jeffrey 
are just what you are looking for.

 They are *.mf files and the names
start with bb (for blackboard bold).

 Do you want me to mail them to you? I am no expert but I could try.
 Is your computer ready?

However, I believe that blackboard style is a poor substitute for real
bold.


Subject: Jeffrey's bbfonts

I have retrieved Jeffrey's fonts from stuttgart: 22 files in all. I am
about to send them. So you will soon get 22 messages from me.

On the other hand, true bold letters exist in the computer modern fonts.
They are called cmbx, cmmib, cmbsy.

The font cmbx is standard in plain TeX, whereas cmmib and cmbsy are
accessed by LaTeX users through the command \boldmath. So,these fonts
should be  available on your site.

I hope you will be able to build jeffrey's fonts easily. Please let me know
how you like them.
