However, I've noticed that there are different standards for spaces after full stops within the text. In some strings there are two spaces after a full...

Patches for GiGi
Hi there, I'm trying to compile GiGi. There are a number of issues. Having fixed some, I've noticed that I've actually repeated some of the work that's already been done here: http://sourceforge.net/p/gigi/patches/ Can I ask tzlaine why these patches haven't been committed? And similarly, what I sho...
