Hello, All:
Might "R CMD check" on Mac use obsolete LaTeX software? I ask, because "R CMD check" on my Mac started reporting LaTeX errors on *.Rd files that previously passed "R CMD check" without problems. Dirk Eddelbuettel recommended I ask tex.stackexchange about that. I did that and got the following: * "In a current tex system \textasciigrave should work with your families - they don't have the glyph but latex will fall back without error. In older systems it could give an error." See: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/543783/package-textcomp-error-symbol-textasciigrave-not-provided Comments? Thanks, Spencer Graves p.s. An earlier post on this issue to r-pkg-devel is copied below. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [R-pkg-devel] Error: Symbol \textasciigrave not provided by (textcomp) Date: Sun, 16 Feb 2020 14:21:17 -0600 From: Spencer Graves <spencer.gra...@effectivedefense.org> To: r-package-de...@r-project.org Hello, All: "R CMD check Ecfun_0.2-4.tar.gz" ends with 8 repetitions of the following: ! Package textcomp Error: Symbol \textasciigrave not provided by (textcomp) font family zi4 in TS1 encoding. (textcomp) Default family used instead. See the textcomp package documentation for explanation. * checking PDF version of manual without hyperrefs or index ... ERROR * DONE This is using R 3.6.2 under macOS 10.15.3 applied to the current development version of "https://github.com/sbgraves237/Ecfun". Travis CI reported that the build passed; see "https://travis-ci.org/sbgraves237/Ecfun/builds/650505913?utm_medium=notification&utm_source=email";. This looks to me like it's complaining about the use of the back tick character ("`", below "~" on the top left key on a standard American English keyboard), which I assume is equivalent to "\textasciigrave" in certain contexts. Six out of those 8 repetitions occur in the examples sections of files "grepNonStandardCharacters.Rd", "subNonStandardCharacters.Rd", and "subNonStandardNames.Rd". Those functions were written to fix parsing errors with names like "Raúl" that had been mangled by different software before I could get it into R. After a day's work failed to produce a work around, I decided to ask this group. What do you suggest?
