Amsart with 14pt possible?

Question

If I try \documentclass[14pt,reqno,a4paper]{amsart} I just get the default which is less than 12pt. I tried to switch to the memoir class but there were so many changes I had to do that I gave up on switching the class. Is there any way to get 14pt for the amsart class?

You can use \usepackage{extsizes} in your preamble. Also, alternatively, use \usepackage[fontsize=14pt]{scrextend} — , Jun 13 '14 at 22:25

@egreg: the idea was to use 14pt to send the manuscript to a proof reader - after corrections, we would revert to 12pts or maybe even 11pts -- but in the end the combination of double space and 14pts was messing with lots of TikZ pictures, so I settled with 12pt. — Sergio Parreiras, Jun 14 '14 at 01:18

You can use extsizes package to get unusual font sizes:

\documentclass[14pt,reqno,a4paper]{amsart}
\usepackage{extsizes}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
  \Blinddocument
\end{document}

Further, the facilities of KOMA-classes can be extended to other classes too using scrextend package. With this:

\documentclass[reqno,a4paper]{amsart}
\usepackage[fontsize=14pt]{scrextend}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
  \Blinddocument
\end{document}
