This is unexpected. I really like pixelmator pro a lot why would you screw up something like stroke

As long we don´t have access to the "miter-limit" of Bézier-Curves that´s pretty much unavoidable and not restricted to PixelMator Pro.

But Photoshop seems to be handling this quite nicely in my opinion. What's special there?. I'm sorry if I'm dumb to not know about the difference between PS and Pixelmator pro. Thanks for your reply anyway

These are 2 totally different things.
1. While the "spikey" look comes from a thick outline where we can´t control the miter limit "https://stevencrawley.wordpress.com/2015/09/17/what-is-the-miter-limit/" - the "break even point" at a corner so to speak.
2. the rounded "blobby" look can achieved in Pixelmator Pro when text is converted into shape (and shapes are merged)
if that´s what you really want:
I attached an example file:
I would have attached a pxd file but it´s not allowed - for whatever reason.

That's really helpful thanks. So just for clarification PSD does strokes to text by considering them as shapes and pixelmator pro have two options ?
And is it possible to edit the the text after converting it to shape?
