The typographic standard is to only use one space between sentences with proportionally spaced fonts. However, if you use a fixed-width font, like Courier, then using two spaces is appropriate. But, you should only use a fixed-width font if you are required to by some outside party.

Rejoice!  This is how all word processors should work.  Countable
spaces exist only in Typewriterland.  With proper type faces, the
space between words is anything from a minimum value up to whatever is
required to range across a line.  The spacebar no longer represents an
actual amount of space but merely indicates a word break in the text.
If you need to space material differently, you do it properly - using
tabs, tables, frames, or whatever.

I have long been in the habit of putting a double space between
sentences.  I learned that in a typing class, IIRC.  What's the proper
proceedure in LO?
