Token-space font compiler creates fonts with equal-width LLM tokens
Key points
- Compiles fonts where each LLM token has equal width.
- Input requires a font and a tokenizer.
- Provides setup instructions for Discord (Vesktop) and Slack.
- Users can download compiled fonts and associated CSS/userscript files.
Introduction to Token-Space Fonts
A new token-space font compiler has been developed that processes a standard font and a tokenizer to produce a specialized font. In these generated fonts, every token from a Large Language Model (LLM) is rendered with an identical width, regardless of the token's actual character count or visual size.
Functionality and Customization
Users can input text to preview the compiled font and download the resulting font file in TTF format. The compiler also generates associated CSS or userscript files for integration into various platforms. This allows for custom font creation tailored to specific tokenization needs.
Integration with Communication Platforms
The tool provides detailed setup instructions for integrating these token-space fonts into communication applications. For Discord, it outlines steps for use with Vesktop, including installing the font, enabling ThemeAttributes, and placing a generated .theme.css file. For Slack, it describes installing the font and importing a .user.js file into a browser userscript manager to apply the styling to messages from specified agents or IDs.
Specifics of Implementation
When using the font in Discord, users can apply it to all messages or target specific user IDs. The system recommends targeting specific IDs to avoid conflicts. For Slack, the font can be applied based on agent display names or member IDs. The tool notes that code blocks in Discord will retain their default monospace font, and line height and word spacing follow the platform's defaults.

A new token-space font compiler generates fonts where each LLM token occupies the same width. This tool allows users to compile custom fonts from a font and tokenizer, which can then be used in applications like Discord and Slack.
