that depends on the locale.
the two space rule does not apply to swedish, for example.
and googling for "two space rule" and "one space after" + period
makes me think it doesn't really apply to english either... see eg

"There is a traditional American practice, favored by some,
of leaving two spaces after colons and periods. This practice
is discouraged /.../"
(and thousands of similar entries. from what I can tell, the more
*real* research done by an author, the more likely he is to come
down on the one space side...)
