Assuming the LaTeX resume would be shared with a recruiter as a pdf, is there really any difference? I could render the markdown with the Computer Modern font and many people would assume LaTeX.
- JustFinishedBSG 5y ago> I could render the markdown with the Computer Modern font You really shouldn't though. Computer Modern is a pretty ugly font. At least use something like New Computer Modern if you really need a Scoth Roman font with maths.
- Sharlin 5y agoAs an aside, in 2021 Computer Modern looks really dated, especially for content that’s predominantly text rather than math. There are much better, more Unicode-friendly, and more typographically complete LaTeX fonts available.
- est31 5y agoWhich fonts would you recommend?
- Sharlin 5y agoRecently I've been using `mathpazo` which is Palatino extended with matching math symbols (if math is needed; if not, just use plain `palatino`). Specifically, I use `mathpazo` with smallcaps and old-style figures enabled: \usepackage[sc,osf]{mathpazo}
