Dear forum members,

I was wondering if you could find the code of this CV:

I would like to use it, but I cannot find the code.

Many thanks in advance.

Originally it should be on http://www.cv-templates.info/2009/03/pr ... -cv-latex/, however the link is dead now and the site seems not more than commercial promotion to me.

However, here's a saved copy.

Hello Stefan,

Many thanks for your prompt reply.

When trying to compile the document, I get the following message:

Code: Select all

ERROR: 

--- TeX said ---
! Fatal fontspec error: "cannot-use-pdftex"
! 
! The fontspec package requires either XeTeX or LuaTeX to function.
! 
! You must change your typesetting engine to, e.g., "xelatex" or "lualatex"
! instead of plain "latex" or "pdflatex".
! 
! See the fontspec documentation for further information.
! For immediate help type H <return>.
!...............................................  
             

Do you know how to solve this problem?

Many thanks in advance.

Use XeLaTeX to compile, not pdfLaTeX.

Hello Stefan,

I work with emacs. Can I also do what you mean? Attached you will find a picture of how my system looks like.

Many thanks in advance.

It's a setting somewhere. I don't use emacs, so I cannot tell you where. However, you can run

xelatex cv.tex

at the command prompt. But, the next problem will be: do you have the required fonts (such as Fontin Small Caps)?

Finally, have a look at the file cv.tex, and tell me, what do you think: is the code good? Well structured? Systematic? Really more than some specific settings plus some tabular? Do you think you can customize it as you desire?

Hello Stefan,

Many thanks for your message.

I have just found Use XeTex engine under Commands / Texing options.

The error I get now is the following:

Code: Select all

ERROR: LaTeX Error: File `layaureo.sty' not found.

Do you know what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance.

You need to install the layaureo package. It's part of TeX Live and of MiKTeX, so both package managers can be used. Or use geometry instead, for specifying the page margins - that's what layaureo is for. In that case you can remove \usepackage[big]{layaureo}.

Hello Stefan,

Many thanks for your answer.

I removed that package and installed "fullpage" instead. The document compiled but there are not letters/text at all.

Do you know if there is an easier sample which can be used for these kinds of documents?

Many thanks in advance.

Marie

Yes, have a look at the CV section at www.latextemplates.com.
