Last year I did a dissertation for which I used 12-on-17pt text (i.e.
Plain TeX, \baselineskip=14pt, \magstep1). I found this to be about
the right spacing for readability (there were quite a lot of
formulae), and had I been working under double-spacing regulations
(which I wasn't), I might have been able to get away with it.
