No. Double spacing at the beginning of a sentance had to do with the fact that "back in the day" typewriters and even most word processors utilized monospace fonts (ie Courier). In situations with monospace fonts the amount of character space that the "m" takes up is the same as the space of "." or "i"...
and so double spacing after a period was needed in order to place a discernable amount of space before the next sentance.When using modern typefaces double spacing after a period is not needed or appropriate.
Hope that makes sense.
