set font size and line spacing

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 0pt because I think it would interfere with linespread. On the other hand linespread appears not to work.
Can you help?

Why don't you useusepackage{setspace}withonehalfspacing? (and leave the font tampering aside, supplying it to the documentclass as an option).

you want a linespace bigger than latex's default so why are you setting it to smaller values (impossibly small) in the case of 0pt. presumably you want a 12bp font on an 18bp baseline if that;s what they mean by 1.5 linespace sofontsize{12bp}{18bp}your code has a baseline space of0*1.5=0ptso tex doesn't even try to maintain a regular baseline at all as it has impossible constraints

For 1.5 line spacing with 12pt font, you should uselinespread{1.241}(that's whatsetspacedoes). See tex.stackexchange.com/q/30073/105447

@gusbrs I disagree. I know that setspace have other thoughts of what is a "double" or "one-half" line, but most people is the number of lines reduced by a factor of 2 or 1.5. At this respect linespread does a good job: with alipsum[1-4]of 12pt you will have by default 37 lines in first page but only 7 lines less withlinespread{1.241}(37/30= 1.23 ~1.25) so a factor of 1.24 is really more a "onequarterspacing" whereaslinespread{1.5}change from 37 to 25 lines (37/25 =1.48 ~ 1.5).

The supplied code specifies a 12pt font on a 0pt baseline, the linespread multiplies the requested baseline spacing by 1.5, but that is still 0pt.
unless you set lineskiplimit to a negative value TeX does not try to honour a 0pt baselineskip (which would cause every line of a paragraph to overprint in the same vertical position). It just stacks the lines separated by lineskip space (1pt by default) so there is no even spacing, lines with capitals or accents take more space than those without.
It is not at all well defined what you mean by "a font size of 12 pt and a line spacing of 1.5 lines" but I would guess that you mean 12bp font on an 1.5*12bp=18bp baseline so perhaps fontsize{12bp}{18bp}selectfont is what you are looking for. But it is almost certainly better to not use explicit numbers at all and use the setspace package and one of its preset spacing commands.

@Viesturs Besides
singlespacing, onehalfspacing, and doublespacing, setspace has setstretch{baselinestretch} if a different spacing is required.– gusbrs

Why don't you use
usepackage{setspace}withonehalfspacing? (and leave the font tampering aside, supplying it to the documentclass as an option).– gusbrs

As to the use of linespread, you should take a look at tex.stackexchange.com/q/30073/105447.

fontsize{12pt}{0}specifies 12pt font on 0pt !!! baseline, so stretching the baseline by a factor of 1.5 doesn't do much.....– David Carlisle

you want a linespace bigger than latex's default so why are you setting it to smaller values (impossibly small) in the case of 0pt. presumably you want a 12bp font on an 18bp baseline if that;s what they mean by 1.5 linespace so
fontsize{12bp}{18bp}your code has a baseline space of0*1.5=0ptso tex doesn't even try to maintain a regular baseline at all as it has impossible constraints– David Carlisle

no you are multiplying 0 by 1.5
