for my font plug in I need to know which OS I am running on to
choose an appropriate font. Now when Sun Solaris where added
[cut]
sure it would - but it also means calling an external program at startup.
Well, if all else fails...
Well, additionally, the 'guifont' option can take a
comma-separated list of font-names. Thus, you could have it try
something like
if has('unix')
set guifont=AntialiasedFontILike,FallbackFont
Tony has a common bit of useful script that he drops on the list
occasionally when this topic comes up (which you can find at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.vim/40125
) which does some platform-sniffing to set the font accordingly.
A combination of these ideas should hopefully get you closer to
having the font of your dreams. :)
