Use an Arial, Helvetica, Palatino Linotype or Georgia typeface, a black font color, and a font size of 11 points or larger. A symbol font may be used to insert Greek letters or special characters; the font size requirement still applies. Type density, including characters and spaces, must be no more than 15 characters per inch. Type may be no more than six lines per inch.
I'm using Arial, which appears to be the most compressed of all of these. Changing to Palatino Linotype ballooned the length to 16 pages. Alas!
My mentor suggested dropping the spaces between paragraphs in the research plan, and going to indents and bold underlined section headers instead. I am dubious; I think that will really affect readability in material this dense. She thinks reviewers will forgive me because they'll be so sympathetic to my plight.
