STIX has near-copies of \mathscr{L} and \mathscr{H}, but I don’t like ‘em as well as what I get from the \mathrsfs package. I feel very guilty for having him spend any more time on this, and for perhaps leaving the impression that advice he’d given me caused me trouble. His advice was fine. My attempting to follow his advice was entirely loused up.

David,

Here's a quick and dirty method. Place these lines in your preamble.

\pdfmapline{=BOONDOX-r-cal BoondoxCalligraphic-Regular <[8r.enc <zxxrw8a.pfb}
\font\stixscr=BOONDOX-r-cal at 10pt
\def\scrp{\mbox{{\stixscr p}}}

The macro \scrp will produce STIX math calligraphic lower case p in both math and text modes. It's more complicated to get a real mathematical symbol, and it would eat up another math alphabet to do so.
