Reading a LaTeX book, I found that typesetting rules differ between European and North-American conventions. By default, LaTeX introduces an extra large space after a sentence-ending full stop.

The latex command \frenchspacing prevents this extra space (as do AFAIK some "European" classes like koma-script and the "german" style option). Günter -- G.Milde web.de
