Ok, I am not sure how to explain this but it is driving me crazy. I looked around the forums but could not easily describe the issue so forgive me if this is simple.
The cursor on my scree will show about 4 spaces outside where I am typing, and when I turn on finish quotes or auto quotes in the prefrences and try to type, the last pair of quotes will follow the cursor.
Can someone clue me in on this program and what I am missing here?
thanks,
Paul

Not a monospaced font?

If it is a monospaced font, you could have corrupted font caches.
Ok, what is a monospaced font and how do I re install my font cashe?
Thanks for your help and advice guys.

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.

Thanks for your help Dean:
So what would be a font where I could code in? I never had this problem before in other coding programs like Ultra Edit.
What do you code in?
Thanks for your help, Paul

You want to use something like Monaco (MacOS X default mono font) or Dejavu Sans Mono (free font for developers). In case you need to clear font (or other) cache - i suggest you to use OnyX (search at http://macupdate.com) - good and free program to maintain MacOS X. But as always - use it at your own risk ;) And make a good backup first.
