OK. I'm embarassed to ask this.

Which is correct? One space after a period or two spaces after a period
before starting the next sentence.

Since I've been exposed to DTP, I've been using a single space. I've
recently come in contact with writers that still use two spaces.

What are the rules if there are any? Does it depend on proportional vs.
non-proportional fonts?

TIA,

Glenn
