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.
The first message that I read was from John Nash who wrote:
Have you tried
sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra
to get the font in? I had to do this just yesterday myself.
If that works, maybe put a note on R-help. I've not sent to R-help in case it
doesn't
work, and we get a bunch of unnecessary noise.
Well it *did* work; thank you very much John!
A similar message from G. Jay Kerns said:
It looks like you are missing some font files. Did you do:
apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended ?
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

==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
I think this is the same as/similar to the problem I had before I installed
the inconsolata (LaTeX) package from CTAN. Since Brian does Windoze I
cannot advise as to how to install the package on his system, but I presume
it is not too difficult --- once you know how! :-)
I'm posting this so that John Nash's and Jay Kerns' solutions to my problem
are there in the archives ``for the record''.
Thanks to all who replied.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
