The smallcaps problem with Fontin was solved for me by installing the TTF version instead of the OpenType version.

This is an excellent cv template for latex. Thank you!! I was looking for something like this a long time…

I also had a small problem with Fontin (it doesn’t get back to a normal style after the Caps) but using Fontin Sans worked for me too.

Thanks again.

Thanks Alessandro, installing the fonts worked (sorry for my ignorance).

Now i can compile the two column CV but I noticed that phone/email icon doesn’t appear in the contact box..

Any ideas?

On Mac OS X, just double click on the file and on the font book you should be prompted with the “install font” option.

You are right about layaureo, I think there’s a comment in the source to be careful about it.
You could use the TeX Live Utility to install the layaureo package (it’s in your applications folder, or try spotlight search).

Now I am also getting the same error as some one else got before about not able to find layaureo.sty file on my OS X.

May be it would be good idea to put it next the cv.tex file…

I found one over here: http://biobanner.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ALiBio/doc/layaureo.sty

OK! Figured out that I should use xelatex command to compile
