I am trying to compile my ModernCV résumé with Font Awesome icons.
This is the LaTeX which I'm attempting to compile:
\documentclass[10pt,sans,letterpaper]{moderncv}
\usepackage[margin=0.5in]{geometry}
\moderncvstyle{classic}
\moderncvcolor{orange}
\moderncvicons{awesome} % this should force font-awesome icons
\name{First}{Last}
\title{Title Here}
\email{email@example.com}
\homepage{example.com}
\social[linkedin]{LinkedIn}
\social[github]{GitHub}
\begin{document}
\makecvtitle
\end{document}
When I am on Arch Linux, everything works as expected; the icons which appear are the Font Awesome ones. However, when I am using Ubuntu 12.04, the document compiles (there are no errors) but the icons seem to fallback to the MarVoSym set. This also seems to happen in Ubuntu 16.04 and I am not sure why this is happening.
Here are the commands which I use to set up my LaTeX environment:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:texlive-backports/ppa -y
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main"
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty universe"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fonts-extra
mkdir -p ~/texmf/tex/latex/
wget https://launchpad.net/moderncv/trunk/1.5.1/+download/moderncv-1.5.1.zip
unzip moderncv-1.5.1.zip
mv moderncv/ ~/texmf/tex/latex/
mktexlsr
I can also verify that Font Awesome is installed because this compiles and shows up properly:
\documentclass{moderncv}
\usepackage{fontawesome}
\name{First}{Last}
\begin{document}
\faLinkedin
\end{document}
Finally, the command I am using to compile is pdflatex <filename>.
EDIT:
I checked the log output and I found these offending lines:
WARNING: to use the awesome icon set, please use XeTeX or LuaTeX to compile you
r document; switching to the marvosym icon set.

I put \listfiles on the top of my file and ran pdflatex three times. This is the filelist I obtained:

With my current MiKTeX I get the following list of packages and version numbers:
There are a lot of differences to yours, as you can see.
please update your system. Then should
fontawesomebe able to run withpdflatexjust as it did on my current system ....Please see that the current version of class
moderncvis 2.0 and not yor 1.5.1. As far as I remember was there a problem with fontawesome. So please update your complete TeX distribution. Because there are some changes inmoderncvin version 2 it could be that you receive some warnings, but that is at last no problem ...
