This works for me:

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{ae}
\begin{document}
\pounds\textit{\pounds}
\end{document}

It uses $TEXMF/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmu10.pfb and
$TEXMF/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmti10.pfb .

There is a package zefonts.sty on CTAN which does the same as ae.sty
but it steals some missing glyphs from Times and Helvetica.
