Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Use a local font in a class file

[knp]

Hi everyone,

I'm a beginner on LaTeX and I've been spending too much time on that small issue that I can't give up. That's pretty basic I guess, but I can't manage to find the accurate instruction despite hours of trying.

I want to create my own CV from this template : https://www.latextemplates.com/template ... s-resumecv

What I want to do is to remove the original font of the template by a local font of my computer, let's say the "Ubuntu" font.

I understand XeLaTex is needed. I installed it. Now if in a TexMaker blank file I type :

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\XeTeXdefaultencoding utf-8
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\setmainfont{Ubuntu}
\begin{document}
\section{Custom fonts}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}

I then get a file with the Ubuntu font. However there is no way to get this Ubuntu font on that CV, in the .tex file. "setmainfont" doesn't work, "renewfamilykinda" neither.

I guess instructions should be written in the class file .cls of the CV, but everything I tried did not work.

Please, help me

Some news on my attempt :

I've been trying to install two .sty files following this method : https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2341382

Which consists on the execution of these lines in the terminal :

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ubuntu
sudo cp foo.sty /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ubuntu
sudo texhash

But the use of the line \usepackage{ubuntu} in both my template or my .cls file give no results.

If the fonts are properly installed on the system, XeLaTeX should have no problems finding them. There shouldn't be any need to change a class file, which is discouraged anyway due to license issues.
