Font rendering issue with Matlab on OS X: the cursor and font don’t align within the text editor

I’ve run into this one a couple of times so far, so I thought it might be good to post the solution :-) In OS X, with Matlab versions R2008b, R2008a, R2007b and R2007a, a Java update on the system may have made the cursor in the text editor not align with the text: you align the cursor with a character, hit delete, and a character several spaces over goes away. VERY annoying. Mathworks has a patch to fix this, available at http://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/details.html?rp=495091 (you’ll need to create a Mathworks account to log in). This problem is fixed as of R2009a.
