[tex-live] Class moderncv and XeLateX: xdvipdfmx:fatal

[Dr. Werner Fink]

Hi,

I've a bug report that the template.tex of the LaTeX class moderncv
for typesetting modern curriculums vitae, cause an error

 xdvipdfmx:fatal: pdf_ref_obj(): passed invalid object.

 Output file removed.
 (see the transcript file for additional information)

and testing this I see in template.log

 Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
  22724 strings out of 492979
  423028 string characters out of 6141751
  560602 words of memory out of 5000000
  26518 multiletter control sequences out of 15000+600000
  544859 words of font info for 61 fonts, out of 8000000 for 9000
  1348 hyphenation exceptions out of 8191
  57i,21n,65p,10361b,467s stack positions out of 5000i,500n,10000p,200000b,80000s
 
 Error 256 (driver return code) generating output;
 file template.pdf may not be valid.

... if the line

 \moderncvstyle{casual}

is change to

 \moderncvstyle{classic}

it works out.   The only main difference seems to be

 diff -up moderncvstyleclassic.sty moderncvstylecasual.sty
 [...]
  % symbols
 -\moderncvicons{marvosym}
 +\moderncvicons{awesome}

which leads to loading fronts from the sub package fontawesome but
for the wrong engine? Or moderncviconsawesome.sty seems to use hard
coded symbols which are not given for XeLaTex here.  This because
all symbols are found in fontawesomesymbols-generic.tex.
