! fontspec error: "font-not-found"

[ooker777]

All the seemingly used fonts are not found, though I've installed them. One example error is:

! fontspec error: "font-not-found"
! 
! The font "Roboto-Thin" cannot be found.
! 
! See the fontspec documentation for further information.
! 
! For immediate help type H <return>.

I use Windows 10, MiKTeX.

Just using \usepackage{fontspec} is not going to be enough in case you want to use custom fonts. If you use the example Latex templates provided within this project you don't have to use fontspec.

I had the same problem with font awesome and installing font in the system was enough.

Installing the font system wide is a hack. I think I've fixed it though. You just have to delete line 12 from fontawesome.sty. I.e. delete this:

% Define shortcut to load the Font Awesome font.
\newfontfamily{\FA}{FontAwesome}

This works because the font family is defined properly in awesome-cv.cls already.

You cannot just change a copyrighted file. Also, installing a font system wide is not a hack.

Check the font directory in the source files. If the style files are in the "examples" folder, fontdir should be ../fonts/ in the main .tex file as well as awesome-cv.cls.

same issue

@cbarrick , Still get the error after remove line 12 in my case.

My issue has been removed by moving the fonts folder under the examples folder. I think this should solve your problem too.

I had the same problem, and this worked for me.

I've got an updated PR with the fix in #262, but I'm not sure @posquit0 is interested in reviewing new PRs...

That alongside commenting out l.14-16, helped getting the FA icons to show up.

\newcommand*{\faicon}[1]{{ \FA\csname faicon@#1\endcsname }}

@johannesbottcher Isn't it licensed under CC-BY-SA? I don't see the problem in modifying the file, or am I missing something?

This way works for me too!! Amazing!
