Token-Space Fonts for LLM Equal Width

Hacker News •
×

A new tool generates token-space fonts where every LLM token has equal width. It combines a font with a tokenizer to create a preview. Users can type or paste text like "The quick brown fox ate the load-bearing strawberry" to see how tokens render.

To use it in Discord, select gg sans (Discord), choose a tokenizer preset or upload one, and click Compile font. The theme download matches the preview font. Install the TTF in Font Book, then install the compiled font even if gg sans is already installed. For targeted application, enter a specific Discord user ID found via Developer Mode.

For Slack, install the TTF on your device, enter agent display names or member IDs, and download the .user.js file into a userscript manager. The script styles matching messages without network requests.

Supported presets include Deep Seek V4.1 Flash × Inter, Open AI, Kimi, Qwen, GLM, Llama 3, Trinity, and Laguna, with experimental support for Gemma and Gemini. Raw Byte Level BPE is also accepted. Output is a single TTF with tokenizer shaping rules built in.
