Font Stroke Problem in IDCS2

[123daveo123]

I'm having a problem with a stroke in InDesign CS2 on Mac.

Lets say I have a word typed in arial black, 22pt wit a 2px stroke. The letters that come to a point (v & w for example) have a little extra point sticking out of the stroke. It gets even bigger when you increase the size of the stroke. It seems to happen with most of my fonts and I don't know what the problem is. I tried converting to outlines but am not happy with the quality.

Anyone seen this? Know a fix or shortcut.

Thanks,
Dave...

HAve you tried those buttons on the Stroke palette that govern the way the ends of strokes look?

They are grayed out becuase it's text.
