awesome-cvcvfontawesomexetex
I am trying to use the AwesomeCV template (https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV) for creating a CV using TexMaker 5.0.3 with XeLaTex. However, I am not able to get this to work as I get the following error messages:
Does anyone know what the source of problem might be and how to solve it?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Cheers

The fonts used are from:
Notice that the fonts had to be listed as "Gill Sans.ttf" and "ZapfinoExtraLT-One.otf" to eliminate errors.
I didn't really read the documentation of awesome-cv template but I found out that inside cvhonors environment you can not use an itemize environment.
This (for me) means that cvhonors environment is already a fixed enumerate or itemize environment with a way that you can not really use a "nested" itemize inside of it.
My fix is to break the environment (See my added \end{cvhonors} and \begin{cvhonors}) and add a minipage between them with your itemize environment.
The usage of the minipage is because we have to reduce the distance of the bullet points that are still obeying at template's special distances.
My MWE is here:
%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

Best Answer
As requested I am adding a temporary answer.
This error
It affects some calls to
fontawesomeeither direct or in a similar fashion to those reported in xparse/command-already-definedThe solution is to update all secondary calls of
\newfontfamily{\FA}{FontAwesome}to be\setfontfamily{\FA}{FontAwesome}.Is a current known open issue #234 (2018/2019) in awsome cv due to above need to change the
.clssyntax and should have been closed by downloading the latest version. However the fix does not appear to have been Pull Requested or added to the master.clsfile.The working modified
awesome-cv.clsfrom last year is available hereNote at the same time you need to ensure the fonts are in the correct /fonts subfolder to the cv, resume and cover-letter! that is in the folder with the tex files the fonts folder should be a sub folder /awsometex/fonts/fontfiles where awsometex is the folder with letter.tex etc and the fontfiles are those from the package.
