fontawesome failing on resume template #31

Hi Steve,

I've been trying to create a non-academic resume, and could not get the template to render with fontawesome=TRUE. I went through the process of force reinstalling tinytex a couple of times as well as installing the fontawesome library a few times using tinytex::tlmgr_install() to no avail. I don't think this was a system problem (info below), but is rather related to this issue here, fontawesome font not found.

That conversation inspired me to update the local template.tex file from $if(fontawesome)$\usepackage{fontawesome}$endif$ to $if(fontawesome)$\usepackage{fontawesome5}$endif$ and this resolved the issue (in addition to changing the $if(email)$$if(fontawesome)$\faEnvelope0 text to $if(email)$$if(fontawesome)$\faEnvelope.

If this is an issue that others have reported or can replicate, I would suggest updating all of the templates to fontawesome5!
