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,
