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:

Well, I figured it out.  Or at least got it working.  I had to run

initexmf --mkmaps

because apparently there was something wrong with my font mappings. I don't know why; I don't know how. But it works now. I think installing the font into the Windows Font directory was not necessary. I'm including the solution in case anyone else has this problem.
