Text Formatting ⇒ textformat in moderncv

[rajini]

Dear all,

Some days ago i started using 'moderncv' (tip from localghost) for job applications. It is really nice. Both my first name as well as second/family name consists of 11 letters (so 22 in total). If i use moderncv+classic my second name is hyphenated. Is there any snippets to avoid this hyphenation such that my second name will appear just below my first name with some vertical space between 1st and 2nd names.
thanks
rajini.

You could put your 2nd name into \mbox{...} to suppress hyphenation.

Hi Stefan,

the default value in moderncvthemeclassic.sty is

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\firstnamefont}{\fontsize{34}{36}\sffamily\mdseries\upshape}

As you told, if i put my second name in mbox, second name is not hyphenated. But it runs over the data (address) on the right side.
So i changed the above codes (size reduced!) to

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\firstnamefont}{\fontsize{23}{23}\sffamily\mdseries\upshape}

I get everything fine (and it seems okay with reduced font size).
But just to know some details- Why there are two different font sizes (34 and 36) instead of one? In the first code (see above), which font is actually used ?
