They're called "blackboard bold".
LaTeX uses them with the following packages:
- amsfonts (A--Z, k)
- mathbbol (complete alphabet with greek, uses bbold fonts)
The german LaTeX FAQ tells, there'd be the fonts:
- bbold (sans, complete, by Alain Jeffrey)
- doublestroke (sans and serif, caps and "1, k, h", by Olaf Kummer)
- bbm (several variants, by Gilles F. Robert)
I remember an other free(?) blackboard font at http://www.yandy.com
I found an reference to an article by Gerd Neugebauer in "Die TeXnische
Komödie" 4/1996, 1/1997 about several possibilities.
And there should be a file "blackboard.ps" at CTAN:doc/blackboard
