Not a monospaced font?

If it is a monospaced font, you could have corrupted font caches.

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.

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.

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.
