RE: spacing after punctuation?

I personally prefer more spacing after a period to help me visually scan for sentences.  HTML condenses multiple spaces into one – so styling would and may be used to increase the width.     I’d generally agree with Andy’s comments that too much spacing between letters can be an issue – but enough spacing between letters like r and n and between I’s and l’s is important to me and likely others who have astigmatism that may not be correctable.  Sometimes I turn print sideways to tell letters apart because I can see the spacing vertically but not horizontally.

is spacing after punctuation (e.g. 2 spaces after period) an issue for low vision folks?
