Yeah, that means you don't have the font installed. It is MPlantin. It can be found in a zip of fonts on the same download page as the templates. Unfortunately, because Sourceforge is having issues right now, the page is down. But when it comes back, you'll find it there.
I downloaded the fonts package, but I don't know where to install it. It comes in a zip file, but I don't know where the folders go. Any help?
EDIT: I figured out how to install fonts onto my machine, but I don't know how to change the font from this arial thing it has defaulted to to the new Beleren font. Where do you make that change in mse?
I've updated the program to include the most recent templates, like the Expedition and Devoid styles from BfZ. However, the DFC Sparkers template doesn't show up on the styles list. I updated MSE through the built-in update check rather than the download link as the downlod fails to find the program for some reason.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
After installing a bunch of templates, when i try to install a new batch, it will start then stop about 5 upades out of howecver many are in that package
Also, is ther a single LARGE Installer avaiable that has every template in it?
Hey all, this program is the bees knees. However, I am having some trouble installing some new templates and/or updates. I have version 2.0.0 and keep getting this message:
Can not create file 'filename', continue installation?
After whatever does get installed installs, I then get this message:
can't open file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Magic Set Editor 2/data/filename' (error 5: access is denied.)
Anyone have any idea what's wrong? Thanks in advanced!
EDIT: Ok, I read through the FAQ and think I solved the problem. Will check to see. In the mean time, how do I create my own templates? I want to help - especially with the Hero's Path that's missing (Horde challenge and God challenge) unless anyone has already made them?
Yeah, so moving the program folder from the Program Files (x86) didn't work... Any other options?
Solved the problem. Windows 8 doesn't really have users have administrative control even if your account is made as an administrator. I know, right? So I had to activate the actual administrator account and proceed like that. Windows XP was definitely the best Windows of all time - Kanye West level of all time.

You can also right-click on the application icon and choose "Run as administrator."
I tried that, but it didn't work :/ that's why I had to find alternatives. It was pain, but I eventually got it working. What I would like to do is learn how to make my own templates or edit existing templates. How's that done?

For some reason I cannot seem to download this program. When I click 'Download' it tells me that my download "will begin shortly..." then nothing ever happens. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to fix it?
Is it possible to do double-sided cards on MSE? If yes, then I'm guessing it requires an additional download. Does anyone know where I can find it? Thank you to everyone in advance.
I need some help here trying to solve a problem that's been plaguing me and I'm not sure how to fix. Thing is when I employ images in my cards they lose quality BEFORE I even export them. First I work these images in Paintshop Pro to a workable size, good quality, save them as PNG as I know they have good quality. Then when I select the image to put on the card frame, the image loses quality and it looks crappy.
To illustrate more clearly:
This is one pic I had trouble with. I worked with it in Paintshop pro and reached to this base here. As you can see it has decent quality.
Next is when I try to select the image, there are a few discrepancies on the quality if we look at the right screen though it is still within a reasonable range and I expect it to be due to the more oversized nature of the picture here, however..............
As soon as I ok, this is what happens............and there is a more than evident quality loss here...the pic got totally pixelated and blurred. it looks bad when comparing it to the other two preliminary phases.
That there is the problem I'm struggling with. What the heck happened in the transition that resulted in the pic getting damaged is what is beyond me. I've been playing with the Lifter too but I've had little success unfortunately. Also all of this is in on a Series 9 template.
Sorry if it's been asked before, i got the template for the zendikar full art lands but the name isn't the correct font, so I went to change it in the Style document to what it's supposed to be, but it still remains the incorrect one. Am I missing something?
I have been able to solve the font issue with the rules text and flavor text with MPlantin, but apparently there's a different font that's used for the Card Name and the Card Types that I can't find. Anyone able to tell me what font too use for those would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone I've used MSE for a few years, and I all of a sudden got this bug where every time I type a letter, behind it is CARDNAME. Obviously, this makes it unusable. DOes anyone have any fixes? Or should I just reinstall?
I must say I enjoy making custom cards using your program. Recent cards such as the werewolf double faced cards have a moon symbol at the top reflecting the color red, green or both and on the middle line. The top word border also incorporates the moon for these cards.
Ex. Krallenhorde howler, green moon in middle with crescent at top, Ravager of the fells (has eldrazi type symbol instead of Moon at top and mixed r/g full moon symbol at middle bar. Terror of Kruin pass has the red moon at middle.
MSE has a tombstone for the top but no moon or any of the special symbols like the eldrazi horrors.
So here's the questions,
1) Will there be any updates to include the werewolf dfc special word borders with the moon (and other special) symbols at top and middle?
2) I've made some special characters that fit within certain sets such as RTR, DTK/KTK, I'd like to add then to those sets but I haven't seen where to dl the set symbols anywhere. I just have the option to make a set symbol.
So I went back and spent a few days over the holidays trying to get MSE working on Mac/Linux (again).
Linux was easy to get working: a little build-system cleanup, some small fixes for now-illegal implicit conversions to booleans, and everything seems to work nicely.
Then I tried OS X. Clang spits out a few hundred more compile errors than gcc did, but those are fixable; it was only after that that I found out how bad wxWidgets' support for OS X really is -- I mean, most basic blitting modes aren't even supported! Duct-taping over those (who needs nice-looking symbols anyways?) lets it run and not crash immediately, but even then it's a mess: region sizes are way off, scrolling card notes generates exceptions, trying to load a set crashes the program...
[edit] After further investigation, I'm dumb and most of the errors are related to the version of wxWidgets: MSE (and my linux box) both use 2.8, while the Mac versions I have found/built are 3.0. And it's apparently near-impossible to build 2.8 on recent version of OS X. So that's no help (but is good to know).
In short, between the MSE code being pretty janky and wxWidgets being terrible on Mac OS, you are probably not ever going to get a build of MSE for Mac.
My guess (made without any directly applicable experience, so take with salt) is that 16.04 repos have wxWidgets version 3.0 or higher, while 14.04 had 2.8. maybe there's a way to tell apt you want the old version?
