I have just installed R version 2.14.0 and tried to re-build and re-check some of the packages that I maintain. I'm getting a warning (in the process of running R CMD check on my "deldir" package):

I received two replies off-line and one that was sent to the list. The gist of the off-line replies was ``you need to install some fonts'', and (unusually, and very kindly! :-) ) the responders told me *how* to do so.
<SNIP (descriptions of how to install on various Linux distributions)>
The third message (which *was* posted to the list) was from Brian Diggs, who said that he was having a related problem:
The error on R CMD check I get is: * checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING LaTeX errors when creating PDF version. This typically indicates Rd problems. LaTeX errors found: !pdfTeX error: pdflatex.EXE (file ec-inconsolata): Font ec-inconsolata at 540 n ot found ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

I thought that making sure the proper latex packages were installed would be sufficient, but apparently not. I found the actual font at http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/Inconsolata.otf, downloaded it, and installed it. It shows up in my list of fonts available (as Inconsolata Medium) via the control panel. However, I still get the same error from R CMD check. I tried rebuilding the TeX filename database, but that didn't help. I've searched my drive for any mention of inconsolata, and the hits are: ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/doc/fonts/inconsolata ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/doc/fonts/inconsolata/inconsolata.pdf ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/fonts/enc/dvips/inconsolata ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/fonts/map/dvips/inconsolata ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/fonts/opentype/public/inconsolata ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/fonts/sfd/inconsolata ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/fonts/tfm/public/inconsolata ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/fonts/tfm/public/inconsolata/ec-inconsolata.tfm ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/fonts/tfm/public/inconsolata/ei1-inconsolata.tfm ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/fonts/tfm/public/inconsolata/qx-inconsolata.tfm ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/fonts/tfm/public/inconsolata/rm-inconsolata.tfm ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/fonts/tfm/public/inconsolata/texnansi-inconsolata.tfm ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/fonts/tfm/public/inconsolata/ts1-inconsolata.tfm ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/fonts/type1/public/inconsolata ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/source/inconsolata-src.tar.bz2 ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/tex/latex/inconsolata ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/tex/latex/inconsolata/inconsolata.sty ./Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/tpm/packages/inconsolata.tpm Which seems to confirm that TeX knows and has the font. I would appreciate any further assistance.
SNIP Brian: When I first tried an R CMD check (or it was probably an R CMD INSTALL --build) using R-2.14.0 on a Windows system with MiKTeX 2.8, MiKTeX went ahead and "automagically" installed the required components from a CTAN repository (which I had to select on the way). Do you mind sending me (off-list) your package so I can check it with my (very old Pentium III, Win XP) system? [I see you are running a 64-bit system.] Hope this helps, Ray Brownrigg
