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 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:

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 thought that making sure the proper latex packages were installed
would be sufficient, but apparently not. I found the actual font at
http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/Inconsolata.otf, downloaded it, and
installed it. It shows up in my list of fonts available (as Inconsolata
Medium) via the control panel. However, I still get the same error from
R CMD check. I tried rebuilding the TeX filename database, but that
didn't help. I've searched my drive for any mention of inconsolata, and
the hits are:

Which seems to confirm that TeX knows and has the font.
I would appreciate any further assistance.
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,
