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):
* checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING

...... etc., etc., etc., ad (almost) infinitum.
So there's some problem with a font file not being "loadable".
Can anyone tell me what the <expletive deleted> I should ***do***
about this? I managed to install the "inconsolata" package from CTAN.
At least I think I managed; I downloaded the *.zip file and then unzipped
it in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex. And ran "texhash". This stopped R CMD
check from complaining that the "inconsolata" package could not be found,
but then led to the further complaint described above.
So how do I make the required font "loadable"? What files do I need?
Where do I get them? And where should I put them once I've got them?
I would be grateful for any assistance that can be rendered.
(I know it's "just a warning", but I *hate* to ignore warnings!)
cheers,
Rolf Turner
