[Tex/LaTex] How to include academic icons like google scholar and research gate in curve CV template

academiconscv

I am using a CV template available in overleaf using class curve.

In this template fontawesome package is working but while using academicons it is showing error.

mwe.tex:

Well, usually you have to add \usepackage{academicons} to be able to use academicons. (BTW: Using academicons means you have to compile with lualatex or xelatex.)

Then you can access the several icons with for example:

DOI: \aiDoi  % <========================================================
Googlescholar: \aiGoogleScholar
ResearchGate: \aiResearchGate % <=======================================

or with

\makefield{\aiGoogleScholar}{\url{http://liantze.penguinattack.org/}}
%          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

in a field of personal informations.

If that also works in overleaf I can not say, I have no experience with that online compiler. Please test it yourself.

With your given settings.sty and the following cv code

\documentclass[a4paper,skipsamekey,11pt,british]{curve}

\usepackage{settings} % <======================================

\ifxetexorluatex 
  \usepackage{fontspec}
  %\setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX,SmallCapsFeatures={Letters=SmallCaps,LetterSpace=5}]{Charis SIL}
  %\setsansfont[Ligatures=TeX]{Fira Sans}
  %\setmonofont{Inconsolata}
\else 
  \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
  \usepackage[tracking=smallcaps]{microtype}
  \usepackage{fbb}
  \usepackage[type1]{cabin}
  \usepackage[varqu,varl]{zi4}
  \useosf 
\fi

\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage{academicons} % <============================================
\addbibresource{own-bib.bib}

\myname{Lim}{Lian\bibnamedelima Tze}
\includecomment{fullonly}
\leftheader{%
  {\LARGE\bfseries\sffamily Lim Lian Tze, Ph.D.}

  \makefield{\faEnvelopeO}{\texttt{liantze@gmail.com}}
  \makefield{\faTwitter}{\texttt{@liantze}}

  \makefield{\aiGoogleScholar}{\url{http://liantze.penguinattack.org/}} % \faGlobe
  %          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  \makefield{\faLinkedinSquare}
  {\url{http://www.linkedin.com/in/limliantze/}}
}
\rightheader{~}
\title{Curriculum Vitae}


\begin{document}
\makeheaders[c]

DOI: \aiDoi  % <========================================================
Googlescholar: \aiGoogleScholar
ResearchGate: \aiResearchGate % <=======================================

\end{document}

I get with current MiKTeX 2.9 the following result:

compiled with lualatex. Please see that I commented your used font because I have not installed on my system.
