If you want to play around with fonts and font spacing you may as well simply use LaTeX. Alternatively, maybe ask the professor to simply invert the page requirement. In undergraduate school a writing assignment that required at least 10 pages meant a tortuous uphill battle to put words on the page. In graduate school a writing assignment that limited the page count to 10 pages or less resulted in a 20-page paper pouring out and then many hours spent paring it back. Funny how framing can have that effect.
