The easy answer is: No. when you stroke the text, Photoshop uses the
equivalent of a rounded brush of some sort, and in following the contour the
corner
will round. So by using the function, you won't get sharp corners.
To stroke type with square edges, you will need to do something other than a
layer style. Either stroke the item one pixel at a time (with the Stroke
command, outside the content of the layer), or apply the stoke with a larger
square
brush (using Stroke Path, after converting the type to vectors). The results
will depend on the DPI of the image. The larger (greater than 1 pixel) brush
will need to be set to 1% spacing.
The best results will likely still be achieved manually, but this comes pretty
close.
Hope that helps.
