Blackboard Bold Font required

Hi,

I'm looking for this font. It's called Blackboard Bold.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackboard_bold

Does anyone know where I can download it or how to unicode it for use on a Mac?

Cheers,

Martin

Martin --

This is from Wikipedia:

+Blackboard bold is a typeface style that is often used for certain symbols in mathematical texts, in which certain lines of the symbol (usually vertical, or near-vertical lines) are doubled. The symbols usually denote number sets. Blackboard bold symbols are also referred to as double struck, although they cannot actually be produced by double striking on a typewriter. In some texts these symbols are simply shown in bold; blackboard bold in fact originated from the attempt to write bold letters on blackboards in a way that clearly differentiated them from non-bold letters.+

If you're looking for an outline font that looks like the letters in your example, you might want to go to Myfonts.com of Fonts.com and search for outline fonts.
