Additional Comments

The fontawesome argument calls the fontawesome5 package in LaTeX. This assumes the use of TeXLive 2015 at the latest.

latex_engine is hard-set as "xelatex". This permits greater flexibility in use of fonts through the mainfont argument you can specify in the YAML.

I'll be frank that disabling fontawesome doesn't make much sense to me, though the option is there if you want it. The CV just won't look as nice with it disabled.

fontawesome controls the use of icons in the header, though icons for ORCID and OSF come from the academicicons package. Everything else comes from fontawesome5.
