# Introduction

nvim-cmp-fonts is a completion source for

[nvim-cmp](https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp) that provides sources for fonts.

This is especially useful for editing

[configuration](#only-for-certain-file-types) file types. It gets them from the

fonts installed on your computer, which you can see by using the `fc-list`

command. Every time you open Neovim, the list of fonts is updated.

# Dependencies

* fontconfig

# Installation

## [packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim)

```lua

require "packer".startup(function(use)

	use "amarakon/nvim-cmp-fonts"

end)

```

# Setup

The following code block shows the default options.

```lua

require "cmp".setup {

	sources = {

		-- Most font names have spaces in them. However, nvim-cmp restarts the

		-- completion after a space, disallowing you to complete a font name

		-- with spaces. The `space_filter` option is a way to get around this by

		-- using a different character to represent spaces. If you wish, you can

		-- set this option to a space character, but you know the downside of

		-- that.

		{ name = "fonts", option = { space_filter = "-" } }

	}

}

```

## Only for certain file types

```lua

-- Only enable `fonts` for `conf` and `config` file types

require "cmp".setup.filetype({ "conf", "config" },

	{ sources = { { name = "fonts"} } })

```
