I am trying to "debug", now exploring  Rd2pdf, and get this:

U:\Users\pgiraudo2\Documents\R\pgir_arch\pgirmess_arch\151104v1.6.3>rcmd 
Rd2pdf
pgirmess
Hmm ... looks like a package
Converting Rd files to LaTeX .....
Creating pdf output from LaTeX ...

Looks like there is someting wrong with the call to MIKTEX and a font 
missing. However I did not change anything to the MIKTEX configuration 
(MIKTEK 2.9) which was working OK last time I packaged pgirmess...

Also I can not find out how to download an "ec-inconsolata" fond through 
the MIKTEX package manager

Any advise appreciated.

Cheers,

Patrick
