Hey, MSE newbie here. Started out couple days ago and wanted to modify some of my favorite cards. Now I got a few questions: 1) How do I change fonts in MSE? (couldn't find anything after research and probably overlooked it) 2) This one card (Rin and Seri, Inseparable) I wanted to recreate has a style I haven't found yet in the MSE styles. Does it exist (sure it does but overlooked) and if not how to recreate it?
3) Since I'm german, I'd like to have the cards written in german. But the frame for legendary creatures only adjusts if I write 'Legendary' but I want it to be 'Legendär' and still change. I tried fixing it with a new keyword but I don't think that's the right way...
4) Also, is there a way to have a bunch of cardnames imported from a .txt file? (I want to create X new cards with only their name filled in)
ty very much for your help ^^

Welcome to our forum - und schöne Grüße von der Ostsee  
If you don't mind I'll answer in English nethertheless to make it possible for other potential readers to follow the conversation
How do I change fonts in MSE? (couldn't find anything after research and probably overlooked it) Just to clarify: Do you want to change the font your cards should have or are they not using the correct font? As far as I know, the templates should automatically pick the fonts (so manually changing them isn't that easy) - unless they're not installed on your computer. If so, the correct fonts had just been posted a few days ago in a post, which I sadly can't seem to find right now (and I'm a quite pressed on time while writing this) but I'm gladly look it up tomorrow unless someone else ist quicker anyway
This one card (Rin and Seri, Inseparable) I wanted to recreate has a style I haven't found yet in the MSE styles. Does it exist (sure it does but overlooked) and if not how to recreate it? Quick note: [ca rd]Rin and Seri, Inseparable[/ca rd] (without the spaces) allows you to directly link to scryfall: Rin and Seri, Inseparable  That aside: I think that style is called "extended art" by WotC. I'm not really up to date with all templates, but I might suggest starting with our master templater's thread if you're looking for it or any other specific templates.
Since I'm german, I'd like to have the cards written in german. But the frame for legendary creatures only adjusts if I write 'Legendary' but I want it to be 'Legendär' and still change. I tried fixing it with a new keyword but I don't think that's the right way... This depends on the template you're using. The Mainframe templates allow you to manually trigger the Legend frame (don't forget to specify "options specific for this card" unless you want all to be legendary, though ) in the Style tab.
Also, is there a way to have a bunch of cardnames imported from a .txt file? (I want to create X new cards with only their name filled in) As this never came up for me, I've never looked into this. No idea, sorry.

Vielen, vielen Dank für die Antworten!!  und Grüße zurück aus Frankfurt  (thank you so much for your replies!!)
You answered almost all of my questions! Regarding the first one I've got all the fonts installed on my pc but it doesn't change automatically when I change the style. It always sticks to the standart font.
It could be something super obvious since I'm no expert on that matter.
Thanks again for your advice!!

the Rin and Seri effect is also on Mainframe, it's the "Puma" checkmark (named after the first set that used it, Promo Ultimate Masters or PUMA)
for fonts, make sure you open the ttf files and click install, just having the ttf file isn't enough to use the fonts.
