Running 'texi2dvi' failed

Describe the bug
https://github.com/neurogenomics/GenomicRanges/actions/runs/3718719179/jobs/6307099463#step:4:2827

After running the r-lib/actions/setup-tinytex action as a step in my rworkflows action, a LaTeX error occurs when running "texi2dvi". Specifically the "beramono.sty" file is not found. This occurs during the rcmdcheck step.

Error: processing vignette 'GenomicRangesHOWTOs.Rnw' failed with diagnostics:
Running 'texi2dvi' on 'GenomicRangesHOWTOs.tex' failed.

To Reproduce
Render any .rnw file on a GHA VM using the .
In my case, I ran the rworkflows action on a fork of GenomicRanges:
https://github.com/neurogenomics/GenomicRanges

This error occurs even when I use the full prebuilt version of TinyTeX:
https://github.com/neurogenomics/rworkflows/blob/56c3f2d60014455052417682250b5f26864a2487/action.yml#L181

- name: Install latex
  uses: r-lib/actions/setup-tinytex@v2 
  env:
       # install full prebuilt version
       TINYTEX_INSTALLER: TinyTeX

Expected behavior
All latex-related libs necessary for rendering Sweave (.rnw) R documentation are installed and exported by r-lib/actions/setup-tinytex.

Some of my attempts to fix this are documented here:
neurogenomics/rworkflows#32

Thanks!,

You probably need extra CTAN packages, see the manual: https://github.com/r-lib/actions/tree/v2-branch/setup-tinytex#ctan-packages

Maybe https://ctan.org/pkg/bera ?

Thanks @gaborcsardi ! wil give it a try. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the goal of r-lib/actions/setup-tinytex, but is it not to setup all packages necessary to render R documentation? I can't find anything in the .rnw file to suggest it's doing any unusual, simply uses the BiocStyle::latex(use.unsrturl=FALSE) style. If we can figure out a solution I'd be happy to make a PR to ensure that all CRAN/Bioc documentation can be rendered without additional troubleshooting.

Regarding installing bera, Windows doesn't seem to recognize tlmgr. Do these instructions only work on specific platforms? Will document as a new issue as it's a bit divergent from this one.

I don't know what tinytex installs by default. If you think it should bundle/install more packages, please see the tinytex docs to report an issue at them.
