Issue with fontawesome

[baarthur]

Hey Nelson, thanks for the great template!

I am trying to render your demo file and I am facing some difficulties, mostly related to fontawesome. Could you help me?

First, I got an error message associated with the font NewsGotT. Since I don't have this font, I just changed it to one I have, no problem.

 kpathsea: Running mktexmf NewsGotT

  ! I can't find file `NewsGotT'.

But the problem persists with FontAwesome. I don't know if this is an issue with my installation, I'm not great with LaTeX either... What I tried to do was to manually install fontawesome (tlmgr install fontawesome), it did install, but it didn't work as well. I also manually added fontawesome to my system fonts (https://fontawesome.com/download), but it was of no help.

I use tinytex, I am now installing the full TeXLive (which is taking an eternity) to see if it works

Here's the error message when I try to render the .qmd:

Thanks!

[nareal]

Thanks so much for opening the issue, and all the details.

Can you please check the new version of the extension and let me know if it fixed the issue?

[baarthur]

Thanks, Nelson! Runned smoothly now, I didn't even had to change from tinytex to texlive.

[nareal]

Great! I'm glad it works.
