[e-kwsm]

I already reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/moderncv/+bug/1615169, but no response.

usage:

\social[orcid]{0000-0000-0000-0000}
\social[researchgate]{john-smith}

@xdanaux are you still maintaining this repository?

@andreall First of all, your information is imperfect.

I tried doing this with Xelatex it gives an erro"font awesome.sty not found"

"font␣awesome.sty" looks strange but the error is probably due to xdanaux/fontawesome-latex#12.
Anyway, the icons does not appear because fontawesome does not provide them.

The following example works fine

\documentclass{moderncv}
\moderncvstyle{classic}
\moderncvicons{academicons}

\title{ORCID and ResearchGate}
\name{John}{Doe}
\social[orcid]{0000-0000-0000-0000}
\social[researchgate]{john-smith}

\begin{document}
\makecvtitle
\end{document}

under my environment, frozen TeX Live 2017:

• moderncv (this branch)
• LuaLaTeX, Version 1.0.4
• academicons 2017/05/15 v1.8.0

Note that only academicons provides the symbols of ORCID and ResearchGate,
which requires fontspec which requires either XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX.
But at present academicons with XeLaTeX does not work (diogo-fernan/academicons#1).

@e-kwsm your example works fine with XeLaTeX when replacing \moderncvicons{academicons} with \usepackage{academicons}. This is how the package is designed to work, requiring an explicit load.

Moderncv accounts for the fontawesome explicitly at https://github.com/xdanaux/moderncv/blob/master/moderncviconsawesome.sty, which makes \moderncvicons{awesome} as defined in https://github.com/xdanaux/moderncv/blob/master/moderncv.cls#L359 work. The same would have be replicated within the Moderncv package for academicons in order to have \moderncvicons{academicons} valid.
