something is weird with the text metrics as they're being reported on os x.
not sure if this is an apple java bug or what's causing it.

In Windows, there is a workaround.

-Change the font to your desired font size in the preferences.
-exit processing.
-re-start processing.

Upon the restart, the caret is re-synced to the proper character width.
Perhaps every variable that uses the font-width is not being updated
properly on the change, but gets initialized properly upon startup.

(using v1.03)

This also happens on linux (tested on ubuntu breezy).

issue here is that you have to restart processing after changing the font
size, which is a note that we've added to the preferences window a while back.
