Add platform-specific CV fonts #4

Open dnl-blkv opened 8 years ago

dnl-blkv commented 8 years ago

With a recent update (v1.1.0), the main font has been changed to Times New Roman, whereas Calibri was preserved as an option ('calibri' option for the class).

Thus, I would be glad to know if there are other platform-specific fonts you wish to see in the class except for Calibri.

Please answer with combinations of platforms, font face names and sizes. Also consider the following space requirements: let us agree that the template proportions should not change significantly when the font changes.

Example answer: Windows (Vista+): 10.5pt Segoe UI.

Since calibri is proprietary licensed, and not included in ttf-mscorefonts-installer. It's mean GNU/Linux user have to ask calibri*.ttf from their peers that have windows os installed.

I think it's a wise to use calibri compatible open source font : Carlito

Please add instruction for linux platform, it's very hard to understand for Beginner.
