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.
 
Version: R 2.14.0 2011-10-31
OS: Windows 7
Latex: MikTex 2.9
 
Thank you
Tyler Rinker
