Re: [libreoffice-users] spacing after punctuation

Virgil, I'll have to disagree with your last sentence.  It's quite 
obvious to me when there are two spaces after a sentence-ending period 
rather than just one, even with proportional fonts (allowing for the 
possibility that there's a font somewhere with a wider space than the 
others).  I prefer the double space, myself.
