English text is rendered by LaTeX with double spaces between sentences (not always after periods). Other languages (French for example) are not. Whatever your opinion on the matter, standard technical English should have double spaces after periods in monospaced fonts. Of course, word processed text may be different, but that is not normally monospaced. Chris
