Hi @saadq, great project! :smile:

I found that some letters, for example ČĆŽŠĐčćžšđ, are not displayed properly.

Regards, Herman

And can't display Chinese for now.

Hey @mintisan could you provide a couple of example input characters so that I can test that out as well?

Hope It can support CJK

@saadq Here are some characters you can use. Traditional Chinese: 國際語言支持 Simplified Chinese: 国际语言支持

I'm not sure how people display Chinese character with pdflatex. I use xelatex but it's not compatible with microtype, which is used in this project.

Some of the templates use pdflatex, some use xelatex, and some are using lualatex. I believe I've got this issue fixed for the pdflatex templates by setting the encoding correctly in each template, but I need to play around with the other templates a bit more.

Yea

and how about i18n?

Hey all, I've been working on the resume generator's second version for awhile now. The new version will hopefully have multilanguage support and I will be planning to add i18n to allow the site to work in different languages and such. Looking forward to sharing the new version with you all very soon!

Just for a status update – I think I've got the accented characters working for every template. I've also gotten Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters working for the xelatex templates with the xeCJK package. However, I still need to figure out how to make the C/J/K characters work on pdflatex templates.

Apparently, there is a CJK package which is the pdflatex version of the xeCJK, but I'm not sure how to set my fonts with it. With xeCJK, all I had to do was:

\usepackage{xeCJK}
\setCJKmainfont{Source Han Sans}

But I get an error when doing this in the pdflatex templates:

\usepackage{CJK}
\setCJKmainfont{Source Han Sans}

about setCJKmainfont not being a command. Will have to look more into it.

make the C/J/K characters work on pdflatex

Thanks for your support. I don't think pdflatex and CJK characters play nicely. That's why basically all Chinese Latex writers are using xelatex.

Yes, that makes sense. It's a shame that the majority of the templates I have for the app use pdflatex. One thing I can possibly look into is converting them all into xelatex but I imagine I will probably need help/pull request for it since I'm not all that confident in my LaTeX skills to be able to do it.

In template2, template4, template6. we only need to add

\usepackage{xeCJK}
\setCJKmainfont{Source Han Sans}

in their index.js to support Unicode. Source Han Sans is the font you want to display. You have to make sure that Source Han Sans had been install in your system. (You can check it using fc-list in *inux system)

Related is just displaying generic unicode characters. I was trying to add stars next to skills and ran into display issues e.g. Git ★★★★☆
