Glyph-ByT5-v2: A Strong Aesthetic Baseline for Accurate Multilingual Visual Text Rendering

We introduce Glyph-ByT5-v2, a customized text encoder for accurate multilingual visual text rendering and improved aesthetics. As an extension of Glyph-SDXL, our multilingual version supports visual text rendering for up to 10 different languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Russian. Combined with SDXL, our proposed Glyph-SDXL-v2 achieves accurate multilingual design image visual text rendering.
