What is a WFN file

WFN files mostly belong to CorelDRAW. WFN files store font data used to define typeface shapes and metrics.
Main use case (WordPerfect Font File): These files are most often seen as WordPerfect font files. They are used in design and word processing environments such as CorelDRAW to render text with custom glyph outlines.
Other relevant use case (Wavefront Font File):
  • Some WFN files are also recognized as Wavefront font files. These are handled by specialized programs like the WGT Font Editor and sometimes noted as Widget font files.
  • They carry essential instructions for rendering characters and are installed in the operating system or accessed through font management tools.
  • FilExt.com tip: Each variant contains the data needed to display scalable text and may embed hints that help with clarity at different sizes.

    How do you open WFN files?

    You need a suitable software like CorelDRAW to open a WFN file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your WFN file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a WFN file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
