I'm trying to add Georgian text support in Overleaf LaTeX editor but it shows me empty space where the Georgian text is supposed to be. How Georgian text looks: ეს არის ქართული ტექსტი.

enter image description here

I tried adding \usepackage[georgian]{babel} in background.tex as well as in the main file A.K.A. David_Shainidze_CV_GEO.tex, but still facing the same issue.

I've also tried selecting different supported compilers on the platform but nothing has changed. Ex: Tried LuaLaTeX and XeLaTeX: enter image description here

Here's the project structure:

enter image description here

% !TeX TS-program = lualatex

\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\usepackage{../components/commonheader}

\begin{document}

ეს არის ქართული ტექსტი

\end{document}

Please, don't hesitate to ask if you need some additional details for giving a shot to my issue.

Thanks in advance! Appreciate any type of interaction and willingness to help me <3.14

    You'll need to use a font which actually does have the characters from your language. Please add a [mre] to your question so we can see which font you currently use. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Apr 28 '23 at 18:28

  • You need to use a font which includes the characters of your language, e.g.
% !TeX TS-program = lualatex

\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\usepackage{../components/commonheader}

\setsansfont{DejaVu Sans}

\begin{document}

ეს არის ქართული ტექსტი

\end{document}

  • You also must not use & in normal text. You will see an error about this in the log file. You have to escape it with ... Frontend team (2 Engineers) \& the Backend team ...

  • Don't try to compile your document with xelatex. You load packages which exclusively work with lualatex

  • Thanks a lot! It does what I needed exactly. Regarding `&` - If you found this char in the source without `\\`, it should be a typo, since the Overleaf editor simply doesn't show that in the compiled file. – dsha256 Apr 28 '23 at 18:47
