I need a font size of 12 pt and a line spacing of 1.5 lines.
I try:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\linespread{1.5} %regulate line spacing
\renewcommand{\normalsize}{\fontsize{12pt}{0}\selectfont}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[0]
\end{document}
I set the baseline skip in the second {}
in \fontsize
to 0 pt because I think it would interfere with \linespread
. On the other hand \linespread
appears not to work.
Can you help?
\usepackage{setspace}
with\onehalfspacing
? (and leave the font tampering aside, supplying it to the documentclass as an option).\fontsize{12pt}{0}
specifies 12pt font on 0pt !!! baseline, so stretching the baseline by a factor of 1.5 doesn't do much.....\fontsize{12bp}{18bp}
your code has a baseline space of0*1.5=0pt
so tex doesn't even try to maintain a regular baseline at all as it has impossible constraints
