We use the inconsolata LaTeX package by default for monospaced text in R
PDF manuals, including package reference manuals (so needed to R CMD check).
You might find inconsolata.sty suddenly disappearing from your system:
it happened to me with a MiKTeX update earlier this week. OTOH, TeXLive
2013 and MacTeX 2013, released on Tuesday, still have it. But I suspect
a TeXLive update may change this shortly.
It seems the LaTeX inconsolata package
(http://www.ctan.org/pkg/inconsolata) since 2013-06-12 no longer
contains inconsolata.sty, rather zi4.sty.
Options:
- for existing MiKTeX users, do not accept an update to the inconsolata
package.
- use R-patched or R-devel, both of which have been modified to use
zi4.sty if inconsolata.sty is not available.
- if your LaTeX installation gets updated and you do not want to update
R, you can update just Rd.sty from
https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/share/texmf/tex/latex/Rd.sty . Or you
could write a file inconsolata.sty as a wrapper for zi4.sty and put it
in your TEXINPUTS path.
On a similar note, if your system decides to update the GNU texinfo
package to 5.x and you want to make the R manuals, you need to use
R-patched or R-devel. (That includes installing R from the sources.)
As far as we know, no distro has yet released a version with the
incompatible texinfo 5.1, but it is in Debian testing and Fedora 19 beta.
