Curricula Vitae / Résumés ⇒ Using letters with accents

[templateuser]

Hello! I’m having a problem when using the package “\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}”, in order to write with accents like ç, ã, õ, etc…

With this template an error saying: ”! Argument of \@firstofone has an extra }.” appears

Meanwhile with the Modern-Styled CV this package works. Eny help?

Hi João,

I added the package as you pasted it and the accents to the template text and it compiled just fine on my computer. I’m using TeX Live 2012. I’d recommend you update all your packages. Are you attempting to use the accents in a \spacedallcaps{} by any chance? That initially gave me an error but when I moved them outside they showed up.

Cheers,
Vel

João, I had the same problem trying to write in portuguese.

I added the packages:

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[brazil]{babel}

And changed the commands:

\spacedallcaps to \MakeUppercase
\spacedlowsmallcaps to \scshape

Cheers,

Sérgio.
