I would like to use moderncv \social commands without using moderncv as a document class. I tried using: \usepackage{moderncv} but then xelatex complains with: ! LaTeX Error: File `moderncv.sty' not found.
I would like to use these icons you can find in this footer: ftp://ftp.ctan.org/pub/tex/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv/examples/template-es.pdf
I'm using the MacTeX-2014 Distribution on my Mac.
If you are able to work with Xe- or LuaLaTeX, you may load the fontawesome-package which loads all the symbols used in the new style of moderncv:
% arara: lualatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontawesome}
\begin{document}
\noindent
\faPhone{}
\faPhoneSign{}
\faMobilePhone{}
\faTablet{}
\faPrint{}
\faEnvelope{}
\faEnvelopeAlt{}
\faGlobe\\
\faTwitter{}
\faTwitterSign{}
\faFacebook{}
\faFacebookSign{}
\faLinkedin{}
\faLinkedinSign{}
\faGooglePlus{}
\faGooglePlusSign
\end{document}
1° this solution might not work with Xelatex, try to replace
\renewcommand*{\marvosymbol}[1]{{\fontfamily{mvs}\fontencoding{U}\fontseries{m}\fontshape{n}\selectfont\char#1}} by \renewcommand*{\marvosymbol}[1]{{\fontspec{MarVoSym}\char#1}}.
2° A class is definitly not a package
Those symols are defined in the moderncviconsmarvosym.sty file.
Some of those symbols come from a font, some where designed using tikz.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\newcommand*{\marvosymbol}[1]{{\fontfamily{mvs}\fontencoding{U}\fontseries{m}\fontshape{n}\selectfont\char#1}}
\definecolor{color2}{rgb}{0.55,0.55,0.55}% Chose your color here.

By playing with the fonts, you can obtain a different outcome.
\addresssymbol useless symbol, to show how to use different fonts, etc. I just copy / pasted and adapted a bit the moderncv relevant file.
