XƎTeX gives the
best results with expert fonts such as those based on
OpenType technology. Most of them can be purchased from digital foundries, but Mac OS comes bundled with a number of excellent fonts with expert features (e.g.
Hoefler Text, Optima, Skia, Apple Chancery, Zapfino). More free OpenType fonts are available on the net. Check out for example the
Gentium,
Charis SIL and
Doulos SIL fonts from
SIL,
Cardo by David J. Perry, the free fonts designed by
Jos Buivenga (the creator of
Fontin), or this amazing
collection of professional quality fonts selected by Vitaly Friedman.

Typesetting your academic CV in LaTeX
![[Example of XeTeX-typeset cv]](../img/cvtex/einstein_cv.png "Example of XeTeX-typeset cv")
There are several dedicated packages to typeset a curriculum vitę or a resume in
LaTeX, such as
europecv or
ecv. For some reason I've always found these solutions not flexible enough to suit my needs. This is why I opted for a standard (
article) class as a basis for my CV.
Some
TeX distributions such as
XeTeX allow you not only to benefit of the advanced typesetting features available in
LaTeX, but also to use in your documents expert fonts such as
Hoefler Text,
Adobe Garamond Pro and to edit
TeX sources in your native (Western or non-Western) writing system.
- (optional) A graphical TeX editor, e.g. TeXShop
The above templates are provided
for free and
without any guarantee that they will correctly compile on your system if you have a non-standard configuration. Fonts used in the above templates are
not included in the downloads and must be already installed on your system. You can modify the
fontspec settings in the document header to use any
TrueType,
OpenType or
AAT font available on your system. For plain
LaTeX templates, see Matthew Boedicker's
examples.

Typesetting your academic CV in LaTeX
Latest update
Dec 4, 2007 Added Fontin and Gentium templates.
There are several dedicated packages to typeset a curriculum vitę or a resume in LaTeX, such as europecv or ecv. For some reason I've always found these solutions not flexible enough to suit my needs. This is why I opted for a standard (article) class as a basis for my CV.
Some TeX distributions such as XeTeX allow you not only to benefit of the advanced typesetting features available in LaTeX, but also to use in your documents expert fonts such as Hoefler Text, Adobe Garamond Pro and to edit TeX sources in your native (Western or non-Western) writing system.
The following are custom templates I use to typeset an academic curriculum vitę in XeTeX. You are free to download them and modify them to typeset your own curriculum.
For my CV I currently use a template compiled in XeTeX with ITC Officina Serif as main typeface and ITC Officina Sans for headings.
Features
- Access to expert font features (such as ligatures, contextuals, glyph variants) (via the fontspec package)
- Unicode-readytemplates
- Custom heading fonts (via the sectsty package)
- Alternate ampersands
- Clickable hyperlinks (via the hyperref package)
- Hanging notes
Requirements
(All the required software is included in the MacTeX distribution)
- A XeTeX distribution
- The fontspec package
- (optional) A graphical TeX editor, e.g. TeXShop
- (optional) Expert fonts
