[R-pkg-devel] checking PDF version of manual

I am trying to check a package using R 3.2.3 on Windows

R cmd check --as-cran pgirmess

but surprisingly, the check get suspended on "checking PDF version of 
manual ..."

* checking data for non-ASCII characters ... OK
* checking data for ASCII and uncompressed saves ... OK
* checking examples ... OK
* checking PDF version of manual ...

then nothing happens, and the prompt stays on that...

Any idea about what is happening ?

Looks like there is someting wrong with the call to MIKTEX and a font 
missing. However I did not change anything to the MIKTEX configuration 
(MIKTEK 2.9) which was working OK last time I packaged pgirmess...

Also I can not find out how to download an "ec-inconsolata" fond through 
the MIKTEX package manager

Any advise appreciated.

Cheers,

Patrick

I have updated all packages of MIKTEX, but with no improvement. I ge the 
same error.

Question: does it comes from the MIKTEX installation (do I re-install 
it) or from rcmd Rd2pdf ?

Any other user having experienced the same problem ?

The error says:
" Font ec-inconsolata at 540 not found"

So it looks like you need to install extra fonts.  I'm on linux, and 
haven't tried to do that on Windows in years, so I think that's about 
all I can do to help you out.

Regards,

Brian

Eitehr the file is no longer there or corrupted, or the database that 
know about the file got corrupted.

For the former, re-instal the package, fr the latter, just go to MikTeX 
settings and run "refresh FNDB" and "Update Formats".

You can also upload the package to the winbuilder service to verify - it 
also uses MikTeX 2.9 ...


Best,

Thanks. Meanwhile I have already reinstalled MikTEX 2.9,  run "refresh 
FNDB" and "Update Formats", and still get a similar error.... There 
should be something with MikTEX since the package was submitted to CRAN 
and went through successfully (Kurt Hornik).

A bit beyond my understanding...

I am closer to the solution. Rd2pdf (and MikTeX) works fine when I am 
running it as administrator. Does not work (with subsequent errors) when 
I run it on my usual user account (with limited rights). Now I remember 
that 2 weeks ago our computer manager has created a new user account on 
my labtop... Suspect some access rights may have been modified by him... 
Will see him tomorow...

Best,

Patrick
