Duncan,
Thank you for your reply. I was not clear about the Internet access. I do
have access, just at times I don't, hence the need to produce the manuals from
latex rather than simply using the Internet.
Please pardon my lack of knowledge around your response. You said I'd have to
install the inconsolata.sty from CTAN. How? Is this installed in an R
directory or a Tex directory? Do I use R to install it or latex or save the
file and drop into a particular folder (directory)?
It is a TeX package. You need to use the MikTeX package installer to
install it.
I usually set up MikTeX to do this automatically when it needs a new
package, but that requires an available Internet connection; you'll need
to do something manually. Start in the Start Menu item for MikTeX 2.9,
and find the "package manager" item. Run it, and choose to install the
"inconsolata" package.

I've used rseek and a simple google search which reveals a great deal about
inconsolata, unfortunately I am not grasping what I need to do.

R Community,
I often am in need of viewing the reference manuals of packages and do not have
Internet access. I have used the code:
path<- find.package('tm')
system(paste(shQuote(file.path(R.home("bin"), "R")),"CMD",
"Rd2pdf",shQuote(path)))
someone kindly provided from this help list to generate the manuals from the latex files.
This worked well with version R 2.13. After the upgrade to R 2.14 I use this code (see
below and get an error message I don't understand). I'm pretty sure "! LaTeX Error:
File `inconsolata.sty'" not found. is important but don't get it's significance.
There's a post about it here:
http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/inconsolata-font-for-building-vignettes-with-R-devel-td3838176.html
but I am a windows user making this a moot point. I know this file is n R font's file
that Miktext needs to build the manual.
I'd like to be able generate the reference manuals again without the Internet.
While the code above worked in the past I'm open to alternative methods.
You need to install the inconsolata.sty file. It is available on CTAN
(the TeX network, not the R one). You say you don't have Internet
access, so I don't know how you'll do this, but presumably there's a
way: you got MikTex installed somehow.
