Description

the fonts is toooo large and it is no necessary for this file (user can use other their favourite font). if you really wanna recommend user these fonts, why not list these fonts official net site, then let user download them (with their downloader)?

and
```
\setmainfont[
Path = fonts/Main/ ,
```

```
\newfontfamily{\FA}[
Path = fonts/fontawesome/opentype/ ,
```

i think these lines should not appear. this is relative path, not absolute path. if user new a blank tex file (not resume.tex), the current working directory will not have these fonts. it will result error. the better solution is that let user install these fonts to default path. Such as `C:\Windows\Fonts` or `~/.local/share/fonts`.

Research direction

Start with resume.tex and inspect the \setmainfont and \newfontfamily declarations that reference the repository's fonts directory. Try compiling a blank TeX file as described, then verify that the template no longer depends on bundled fonts or relative font paths and still compiles as intended.
