pip install rendercv-fonts Common errors
error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rendercv_fonts' ↓
cause Package not installed or incorrect import path.
fix
Run 'pip install rendercv-fonts' and use lowercase hyphens in package name; import with underscores: 'rendercv_fonts'.
error ImportError: cannot import name 'FontAwesome6' from 'rendercv_fonts.fonts.fontawesome7' ↓
cause Trying to import the old class name from the new module. Rendercv-fonts v0.5.0 renamed FontAwesome6 to FontAwesome7.
fix
Use 'from rendercv_fonts.fonts.fontawesome7 import FontAwesome7'.
error FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'FontAwesome6.ttf' ↓
cause Assuming font file path directly from package root or outdated path.
fix
Use importlib.resources to read font files: e.g., 'from rendercv_fonts.fonts.fontawesome7 import FontAwesome7; path = FontAwesome7.__file__'.
Warnings
breaking Font Awesome 6 replaced by Font Awesome 7 in v0.5.0. Code using FontAwesome6 must be updated to import from 'rendercv_fonts.fonts.fontawesome7' and use the FontAwesome7 class. ↓
fix Change import: from rendercv_fonts.fonts.fontawesome7 import FontAwesome7 (instead of fontawesome6).
gotcha Font files are not loaded automatically; you must reference the specific font module. Sibling packages like 'rendercv' expect these fonts to be installed, but importing 'rendercv-fonts' alone does not register fonts globally. ↓
fix Use the font classes directly from their modules; or rely on 'rendercv' to auto-detect them.
deprecated FontAwesome6 import path from 'rendercv_fonts.fonts.fontawesome6' still exists for backward compatibility but is deprecated; its class may be removed in a future version. ↓
fix Migrate to FontAwesome7 as soon as possible.
