Curricula Vitae / Résumés ⇒ Special Characters in Wilson Resume/CV

[fifalars]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble getting the Wilson Resume/CV (http://www.latextemplates.com/template/wilson-resume-cv) working with special characters. As you can see in the pictures, when I try to add a special character to the word 'Ingénieurs', the letters somehow shift left... I've searched the Internet a little, but I can't make up what the problem is. I think it might have something to do with the structure.tex file.

I hope someone can help me out.

Kind regards,
Lars

FYI the same thing happens if I use \'{e}

This is just very normal and documented behaviour of the tabbing environment. Use \a'e. No sane one uses tabbing anyway nowadays.
That template is bad. I introduced some improvements to my fork of the original repo. Since L-templates uses a merely ... well, https://github.com/johannesbottcher/cv_template_2004

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt]{article} % Default font size

%\input{structure.tex} % Include the file specifying document layout

%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\begin{document}
\begin{tabbing}
\hspace{2cm} \= \hspace{4cm} \= \kill
{2004-2007} \> BSc Hons in C\a'eomputer Science - \\[5pt]
\end{tabbing}

\end{document}

By the way, you can insert the charackter directly like you would do here: é.

Thank you very much for the response. It worked with the \a'e but as you suggested, I switched the template to the one you made (thank you for that too ).

Pretty weird that the tabbing environment version is still up there if it is bad practice...

[Johannes_B]

It i not really bad practice, a tabular is just easier to use and to control.

If you encounter any problems specific to htat fork on github, open an issue there. If it is a more general question, fell free to ask as many questions as you want here on LaTeX-community.org ;-)
