When I am trying to do physics equations with the letter 'E', I use 'esc' E
'esc' to get a \[CapitalEpsilon].

This is not perfect, as it does not seem to have an italic version on my
system (4.1, Linux).  So it stands out a little  bit from other letters.

But it is nicer to me than having to do e or En or something like that. 
\[ScriptCapitalE] isn't bad, either, but that one confuses me, as I think
of it as an emf.

I would also agree that the Gothic fonts are nearly useless to me --
particularly on Linux where the Motif front end doesn't do any font
anti-aliasing.
