Serif text with sans-serif headers

Asked by Fredrik Lindgren

Hi,

Would it be possible to add the option of using a serif font for the text while a sans-serif font is used for the headers (name, section titles, etc.)? If you specify serif/roman you currently get serif text for everything (with the casual CV style).

Hi Fredrik,

You can easily change all the fonts used. Here are for example the definitions for the classic style:
\renewcommand*{\namefont}{\fontsize{34}{36}\mdseries\upshape}
\renewcommand*{\titlefont}{\LARGE\mdseries\slshape}
\renewcommand*{\addressfont}{\small\mdseries\slshape}
\renewcommand*{\quotefont}{\large\slshape}
\renewcommand*{\sectionfont}{\Large\mdseries\upshape}
\renewcommand*{\subsectionfont}{\large\mdseries\upshape}
\renewcommand*{\hintfont}{}

Just redefine the font you want to change, adding e.g. \sffamily (for sans serif), \rmfamily (for roman) or explicitly calling a specific font.

Kind regards,

Xavier
