Custom Fonts

RenderCV automatically discovers custom fonts placed in a fonts directory next to your YAML input file.

How to Use Custom Fonts

1. Create a fonts directory in the same location as your YAML file:

   Copy

   Your_Name_CV.yaml
   fonts/
     CustomFont-Regular.ttf
     CustomFont-Bold.ttf
     AnotherFont.otf
   

2. In your YAML file, specify the font family name in the design section:

   yamlCopy

   design:
     typography:
       font_family: CustomFont
   

Supported Font Formats

• .ttf (TrueType Font)
• .otf (OpenType Font)

Font Family Names

Use the font family name exactly as defined in the font file's metadata. For most fonts, this is the name you see when you install the font on your system.
