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.
