Font shape declaration has incorrect series value `mc'. #34

Closed svdvonde closed 4 years ago

svdvonde commented 4 years ago

The template currently produces 16 of the following warnings:

LaTeX Warning: Font shape declaration has incorrect series value `mc'. It should not contain an `m'! Please correct it.

The cause of this seems to be the mathdesign package, and more specifically its deprecated expert option. More info can be found on this stackexchange post. A solution is also proposed in that post, but I have no idea how to integrate it into the latex class file. Simply replacing the expert option and loading the XCharter package seems to introduce an option clash, which I have no idea how to resolve.

EDIT: apparently, according to the commenters on the stackexchange post, the warnings should simply be ignored.

Thank you, I am aware of that. For the warning to go away, we have to wait for mathdesign to catch up, which I don't want to side-step.
