How to Change Font and Font Size in Awesome CV

[Amar Al-Zubaidi]

I tried to put this in my yaml:

mainfont: Inconsolata LGC Markup
sansfont: Inconsolata LGC Markup
monofont: Inconsolata LGC Markup
fontsize: 11pt
output:
  vitae::awesomecv:
    latex_engine: xelatex

But it didn't affect anything.

Some discussion on how to change the font size is here: #81
To change the font, you will need to edit the cls file which gets copied to your project directory when you knit. The place to edit in this file is here:

vitae/inst/rmarkdown/templates/awesomecv/skeleton/awesome-cv.cls

Lines 163 to 187 in 6232043

Thanks, all I had to do was edit that file like you said and it worked.
