Stroke creates spikes on letters

Hey

I have a problem with the Essential Graphics tab.

Every time when I add a text and try to outline it, it creates a spike on some letters.

I have seen a solution, where you have to change the miter limit in the strokes panel, but it was from 2011 and i can't find the stroke options anymore.

Is there another solution ?

I am thankful for every help

My overlay is in german


OK, all I can say is trash preferences, see if that will help.

If the tutorial you saw was from 2011 then it was in the old text engine. That text engine can be found by going to file/new/legacy title.

I know, I always use the new Text tool but if I want to add a stroke to the text, letters like A get a spike but I don't know how to get it away or how to open the stroke panel in CC 2018, if it even still exists

Well on most of them. In my latest projects I used Rockwell bold and put a 25 stroke on it.


25 might be a bit too much.
