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..
