Curricula Vitae / Résumés ⇒ How can you change the writing language?

Hello. I was wondering if it's possible to change the language to Icelandic? There are some letters like þ,ó,í,ö, which don't appear. Thanks.

Hey,

I pasted the letters you gave into the template and it compiled just fine without any modifications on my computer. Have you made any modifications to the template? Where are you using the letters that you are getting an error? Could you paste the error please?

Cheers,
Vel

I have made no modifications. The template compiles just fine. The problem is when I write the Icelandic letters I get symbols of boxes instead:

Hey,

Ok, since the rest of the template compiles fine then I am suspecting that this is a font issue and the version of Helvetica Neue you have doesn't have Icelandic characters. If you can normally see these characters with the default LaTeX font, then I would recommend you comment out the following lines in friggeri-cv.cls:

Code: Select all

\newfontfamily\bodyfont[]{Helvetica Neue}
\newfontfamily\thinfont[]{Helvetica Neue UltraLight}
\newfontfamily\headingfont[]{Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text, Color=textcolor]{Helvetica Neue Light}

You then need to go through and remove any occurrence of \bodyfont, \thinfont and \headingfont from the same document. If the Icelandic characters show up after this, then you need to find a version of Helvetica Neue that supports Icelandic.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
