Duncan,
Thank you for your patience, time and expertise. You were 100% correct and the
problem has been resolved. I'm adding what I did as a windows user to complete

To download the inconsolata package (you may approach this several ways this
one seemed easiest ot me) Go to the command prompt and type:
mpm --verbose --install inconsolata
Thanks again Duncan! I appreciate it.
Tyler
