Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Moderncv XeTeX: \textit ignored

[thag1987]

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\entry}[4]{
	#1&\parbox[t]{7.2cm}{
	\textbf{#2}
	\hfill
	{\footnotesize\color{lightgray} #3}\\
	#4\\}\\}

	  	\entry
		    {2010 - 2014}
		    {Bachelor of Science}
		    {University}
		    {
		      lorem ipsum\\
		      lorem ipsum\\
		      lorem ipsum\\
		      \textit{italic textpart}
		    }

Looks like I can't do additional textformatting, like \textit, \textbf, \emph etc. in the argument. Is there a way to accomplish this without modifying the entry command?

Where is that snippet coming from? Please provide a minimal working example, so we can reproduce the behaviour you are describing.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Looks like a CV class such as moderncv. However, here's nothing to see which could cause this. Perhaps the chosen font version has no italic version.

As Johannes said, if you would post a compilable example (with minimal dummy text), we could help to fix it.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\newcommand{\entry}[4]{
        #1&\parbox[t]{7.2cm}{
        \textbf{#2}
        \hfill

Sorry for that. I thought this was enough as a sample. But with this snipped it actually compiled fine. Testing it out separately let me find the mistake.

Code: Select all

\setmainfont % font that's been used everywhere where not specifically defined otherwise
[Mapping=tex-text,
BoldFont=HelveticaNeue-Bold.ttf,
ItalicFont=HelveticaNeue-Italic.ttf%<-----------
{HelveticaNeue.ttf}

Forgot to define the font mapping initially.
