I am also aware of the inconsolata issue posted in the forum (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2013-June/066850.html), and then I have installed the patched version of R-3.0.1. However I still have some errors with the following message:

Evidently there is such a problem.  My guess is that your MiKTeX is 
missing an entry for the inconsolata map: zi4.map contains

ts1-zi4r Inconsolata-zi4r " zi4TS1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <i4-ts1.enc 
<Inconsolata-zi4r.pfb

This is neither an Rtools nor an R-devel issue, but a TeX one.
