I think that the appropriate thing is to use magnification (1440) on
a 10pt style, because this is the desired format, and it produces
a font designed for 10pt size.
With many drivers it is also possible to do the magnification when	
printing the document, so that writing can be done using a 10pt style

A reduced true 14pt style would not look good!
