Decreasing the font size of your name

Post by templateuser »

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to decrease the font size of the title ie. ones name.

Hi Isabel,

Open up moderncvstyleclassic.sty and go to line 52 which says \renewcommand*{\namefont}{\fontsize{34}{36}\mdseries\upshape}. Simply reduce the numbers in \fontsize{34}{36} to reduce the font size of your name. The first number is the font size and the second is the baseline skip size.

Cheers,

Is there a similar solution for using the moderncvstylebanking.sty? I couldn't find that line.

For moderncvstylebanking.sty, I went to line 114 and line 115 (approx) and changed the font size from Huge to huge. You can also change it to Large or large. It now reads:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\namefont}{\huge\bfseries\upshape}
\renewcommand*{\titlefont}{\huge\mdseries\upshape}
I hope this makes sense, I am new to LaTeX as of this week!
