In monospace fonts, each character has the same horizontal size (like a typewriter...). In variable-width fonts, an "i" would take up less horizontal space than a "B".

The later are considered more pleasing to the eye and are generally easier to read for normal text. Monospace fonts are better when "columns alignment matters", like in source code.

I don't know how to clear the cache.
