Hello all,<div><br></div><div>I am currently submitting an article to a journal that supports the submission of tex files using their .cls and .sty files. This certainly makes life easier for tex users. The only hitch is that they would rather you didn't use external packages. They provide a list packages that they use and would prefer if you didn't use any others. For most tasks this is fine. However, I would like to produce a parts per thousand symbol (<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; ">‰). Normally I do that like this:</span></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%</span></font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">\documentclass[12pt, pdftex]{article}</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">\usepackage{wasysym}</span></font></div>

</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">This is the symbol I would like to use and usually do: \permil</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br>
</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">This is a poor attempt to reproduce it: $\%_{\mathit{\circ}}$</span></font></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19px; ">\end{document}</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19px; ">%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%</span></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br>
</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">Since I am restricted from using the wasysym package I am left trying to figure out how to produce the parts per thousand symbol. I am allowed to included my own personal list of commands but I am just not sure how to properly create the symbol. Anyways suggestions on how to proceed with this would be much appreciated.</span></font></div>
