I just got a new computer and installed MikTex 2.9 for Windows7 64-bit.

When I compiled my resume for the first time (moderncv, theme casual), it compiled in roman vs. sans serif fonts. I did not specify the roman argument, so the document should default to sans serif fonts.

Why can't I get sans serif fonts? I hate roman.

Example of file:

\documentclass[10pt,letter]{moderncv}

\moderncvtheme[green]{casual}                
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}     
\usepackage{fontenc}
\usepackage[scale=0.835]{geometry}

\AtBeginDocument{\recomputelengths}  

\firstname{Fname}
\familyname{Lnmae}

\address{123 Main St.}{city, state 00000}
\mobile{999 999 9999}

\email{[email protected]}

\nopagenumbers{} 
\hyphenpenalty=100000

    Welcome to TeX.sx! Is the lmodern package installed? It might be helpful if you include \listfiles at the beginning of your document, recompile, and add the list of files printed in your .log file to your question here by clicking edit.

  • Welcome to TeX.sx! Please add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. It is considered a lot better to put in some code that will compile, as it makes it a lot easier for us to copy it into our text editor and work with it, and see exactly what it is you are trying to do.

    @Xavier While it is a good idea to clean up questions and especially the code, in my opinion you went too far in this case – not to mention, that you in your answer refer to code, which you deleted now. Instead you should have shown a good MWE in your answer (there’s a typo now, so you have to edit anyway). Also the output of \listfiles was asked in a comment above. I just made a rollback.

    @Speravir Sorry if I unintentionally broke any rule, though I can't figure out which in your link. I still believe the "MWE" shown is not only far from minimal, but on top shows deprecated code and should therefore be edited. For the listing, one can't edit the MWE without changing the listing, and the only relevant part of the listing is anyway that lmodern.sty was correctly loaded, as mentioned in meryl's comment. Just my opinion, I am still new to tex.sx :)

    @Speravir Since Xavier is the author of the package in question and he also fixed the irrelevant parts of the code I think it's not that dramatic in this very specific problem.

The sans class option, for sans serif fonts, need to be specified explicitly when loading moderncv since version 0.15, i.e.

\documenclass[sans]{moderncv}

Note also that \moderncvtheme is deprecated, in favor of \moderncvstyle and \moderncvcolor, and that \AtBeginDocument{\recomputelengths} is not required anymore.

Your MWE would then look like

\documentclass[sans]{moderncv}

\moderncvstyle{casual}                

\firstname{Fname}
\familyname{Lname}    
\address{123 Main St.}{City, State 00000}{Country}
\mobile{999 999 9999}

  • Thanks. The sans option does the trick. Surprised that this JUST starting being a problem for me if that change has been in effect since 0.15.

  • @meryl Well, it depends what distribution you use and how frequently it updates packages. I had to go check my commits to find out when the behavior changed :)
