description
fontdetect helps Vim detect which fonts are installed on the system.
It works around limitations in Vim's getfontname() function.

For example (using GTK2 GUI)::

    if fontdetect#hasFontFamily("DejaVu Sans Mono")
        let &guifont = "DejaVu Sans Mono 14"
    endif

At present, the following platforms are supported:

- Linux (using GTK2 GUI)
- Windows
- Mac OS X

See documentation in doc/fontdetect.txt for installation instructions.
