Default two spaces or one

In ,
Stephen Larivee typed:
What is the preferred way of typing today, to put one or
two spaces at the end of a sentence?


It would seem that, with fixed-width fonts, a doublespace is
used. With proportional spaced fonts it's often only necessary
to use one.

But you'll find a lot of various opinions - some even the
opposite of what I just gave. I learned two on the typewriter
and still use it; no one has ever complained and most seem to
not care anyway. I'd say it's up to the person at the keyboard
and what he thinks it looks like.

HTH,

Twayne`
