inconsolata missing to build R vignette

On ubuntu 14.04 with texlive, checking an R package, for example with devtools check() would return :

Solution

  • Installing texlive-fonts-extra should take care of it.

    You can also (though probably not recommented) tell Rd not to use inconsolata. Just change:

    \DeclareOption{inconsolata}{\setboolean{Rd@use@inconsolata}{true}}

    to

    \DeclareOption{inconsolata}{\setboolean{Rd@use@inconsolata}{false}}

    in your Rd.sty file. On my installation it is at :

    /usr/share/R/share/texmf/tex/latex/Rd.sty

    but a

    locate Rd.sty

    should find it on any system.
