However, I have seen an argument that it actually makes the legibility worse -- IIRC, the argument was that it may create create distracting vertical channels of whitespace if the double spaces on subsequent lines match up (or almost match up). (I don't know if the argument was specifically for fixed or variable pitch fonts or for either case.) I still believe double spaces make text more readable (especially with a fixed pitch font) -- my eyes seem to pick out the end of sentences more quickly, or something along those lines. Randy Kramer
