Failed to compile the example using Windows #61

I tried to install pinp on a computer using Windows 10 in Portuguese and every time I try to compile the package example, I get the following error in my log file:

I tried both CRAN and github versions on Windows, but they give me the same error. I looked for help on internet (like this post on StackOverflow), but I couldn't find what is wrong with my computer.

My LaTeX engine is TinyTex, based on TexLive. I know it is correctly installed, because the vanilla pdf example from rmarkdown is compiled in my computer.

I don't get what is happening, because I installed pinp on macOS and Ubuntu 18.10 and it works on both systems.

Here is my sessionInfo() if you need to check it.

Yes and no.

It only proves that most basic markdown can be converted to pdf. This is more complicated package and you are lacking fonts as shown in the error message. It is documented that this is a more demanding package, see the Requirements section of the README.md. But it is also used on Windows -- but you need to do some work at your end.

Also note that we never say that just having tinytex would solve all problems.
