OpenBSD man pages formatted for display in a console use two spaces,
however when formatted for HTML (which will use a proportional font),
it uses one, see e.g.

$ mandoc -Txhtml /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1 > /tmp/ls.html

However, it does appear that the PostScript/PDF output format may be
using two spaces..
