How to open WFN file?
An often recurring problem with Corel Font Or Symbol Format is that WFN is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open WFN, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WFN file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install AIMAll
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that AIMAll is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name AIMAll in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file WFN.
Programs to open WFN file
Remember to download programs supporting WFN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AIMAll with WFN files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WFN file to open in the AIMAll application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the AIMAll application as the default for handling the WFN file.
Step 3. Update AIMAll to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the AIMAll program, it is possible that Corel Font Or Symbol Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Todd A. Keith page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WFN file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to WFN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WFN file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected WFN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WFN file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WFN file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WFN files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move WFN to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WFN file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
