Doubled spaces after commas are definitely not standard usage. Doubled spaces after periods are fairly common (a holdover from fixed-pitch typewriters, as I recall, where the period itself takes up a full character width and so needs doubled space after it to make the sentence breaks more noticeable). Inconsistent use of doubled spaces after periods, however, is a sign of a smart justification algorithm. <wink> -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
