General ⇒ moderncv font problem

[cara]

I'm having problems with the moderncv package.
A couple of weeks ago it worked fine, but now I get the following warning when I run the moderncv example (and all my other cvs).


This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.6-2.2 (MiKTeX 2.5)
Document Class: moderncv 2008/06/17 v0.7 modern curriculum vitae document class

LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OMS/lmss/m/sl' undefined
(Font) using `OMS/cmsy/m/n' instead
(Font) for symbol `textbullet' on input line 73.
[1]
Overfull \hbox (1.84468pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 82--82
[]\T1/lmss/m/n/10.95 + []|
(template_en.bbl) [2] (template_en.aux)
LaTeX Font Warning: Some font shapes were not available, defaults substituted.
)


By the way I'm using "TeXnicCenter 1.0 Stable Release Candidate 1" and Windows XP.

I really would appreciate some help to fix this.

Thx

In such cases it is always necessary to build a minimal working example (MWE) that exactly shows the problem.

Thx.

I'm working on the MWE. Gonna take me some time.

How do I post the MWE?

Nevermind that last question.

So if I did understand it, a MWE is an example where you get rid of everything that doesn't pertain to the problem.

So here it is:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{moderncv}
\listfiles

% personal data
\firstname{John}
\familyname{Doe}
\mobile{mobile (optional)}% optional, remove the line if not wanted
\phone{phone (optional)}% optional, remove the line if not wanted

\begin{document}
lorem ipsum ...
\end{document}

The moderncv class as configured in your example loads the lmodern font package. But disabling this package and loading another (i. e. kpfonts) doesn't solve the problem. You will get according warnings. I suggest to contact the maintainer of the class. Perhaps he has some advice. Feel free to report new insights here.

[cara]

Thx.

Maybe I'll give it a shot.

I'll try to keep this thread up to date.

No new insights from your side, but I have something to supplement. The class uses the \textbullet command in itemized environments with sans serif fonts in its default settings. Inclusion of the textcomp package will let the font warning disappear.
