I'm a real novice on LaTex, having only used it previously a small amount at University but not for a while. I've decided I'd quite like to transfer my CV to the LaTex moderncv
style.
I downloaded the package here http://www.ctan.org/pkg/moderncv
I use TexWorks, and I was hoping I'd just be able to open the template file from the moderncv
download, compile it and edit the text to produce a nice CV.
Unfortunately, when I try to do this I get the following error:
Running ttf2pk.exe…
miktex-makepk: PK font umvs could not be created.
!pdfTeX error: pdflatex.EXE (file umvs): Font umvs at 864 not found
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
texify: pdflatex failed for some reason (see log file).
So it seems to be a problem with not having a font package installed or something?! Do you know which package this is?
And how do I actually download a font package so that TexWorks knows it's installed and thus compiles the file? I've heard people talk about Miktex package installer, but I don't think I have that available, but I set up all my LaTex stuff quite a while ago, so I'm not sure…
Sorry for my very poor understanding of LaTex, I'd just like to find a way to get this moderncv
package working asap. Any help would be much appreciated.
Added MWE:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\moderncvstyle{casual}
\moderncvcolor{blue}
\usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}
\name{John}{Doe}
\title{Resumé title}
\address{street and number}{postcode city}{country}
\phone[mobile]{+1~(234)~567~890}
\email{john@doe.org}
\begin{document}
\makecvtitle
\section{Education}
\end{document}
still does not compile and produces the error:
!pdfTeX error: pdflatex.EXE (file umvs): Font umvs at 657 not found
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
texify: pdflatex failed for some reason (see log file).
Best Answer
Your file name database and/or font map is likely broken. This typically happens due to a botched update run. Do
On MiKTeX, the config tool (now MiKTeX Console, in the "Tasks" menu) has buttons for this, otherwise run the commands on the OS command line.
If you have a multiuser MiKTeX installation (don't, unless you're a university sysadmin or something), you might have to do this in admin mode, which used to be a separate program, and now is another button in the Console program.
