[Tex/LaTex] MikTex 2.9 64-bit not loading sans serif font for moderncv

fontsmiktexmoderncvromansans-serif

I just got a new computer and installed MikTex 2.9 for Windows7 64-bit.

When I compiled my resume for the first time (moderncv, theme casual), it compiled in roman vs. sans serif fonts. I did not specify the roman argument, so the document should default to sans serif fonts.

Why can't I get sans serif fonts? I hate roman.

Example of file:

\documentclass[10pt,letter]{moderncv}

\moderncvtheme[green]{casual}                
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}     
\usepackage{fontenc}
\usepackage[scale=0.835]{geometry}

\AtBeginDocument{\recomputelengths}  

\firstname{Fname}
\familyname{Lnmae}

\address{123 Main St.}{city, state 00000}
\mobile{999 999 9999}

\email{person@email.com}

\nopagenumbers{} 
\hyphenpenalty=100000

Best Answer

The sans class option, for sans serif fonts, need to be specified explicitly when loading moderncv since version 0.15, i.e.

\documenclass[sans]{moderncv}

Note also that \moderncvtheme is deprecated, in favor of \moderncvstyle and \moderncvcolor, and that \AtBeginDocument{\recomputelengths} is not required anymore.

Your MWE would then look like

\documentclass[sans]{moderncv}

\moderncvstyle{casual}                

\firstname{Fname}
\familyname{Lname}    
\address{123 Main St.}{City, State 00000}{Country}
\mobile{999 999 9999}
\email{person@email.com}
