Bullets set too low

[NilsEnevoldsen]

Bullets are set too low. This can be observed even in the sample documents, e.g. the bulleted achievements here.

I remember figuring this out years ago, but I don't remember the solution. I seem to recall something about the engine mattering (LuaLaTeX/pdfLatex).

This is related to modercvicons{awesome} coming from package{fontawesome}

I'm using this as a workaround...

\let\oldfaCircleO=\faCircleO \renewcommand{\faCircleO}{\protect\raisebox{0.8pt}{\oldfaCircleO}}

[aimtsou]

There is only a workaround unfortunately, since the font is placed too low. I am using almost the same workaround. \renewcommand\labelitemi{% \strut \raisebox{1.45pt}{\textcolor {color1}{\tiny \faCircleO }}}

Put this snippet of code at the starting of your document.

\renewcommand\labelitemi{
  \strut
  \raisebox{1pt}{\textcolor {color1}{\tiny \faCircleO }}
}

You can adjust the height of bullets by playing around with the number followed by \raisebox.
