AFL File - opening and understanding

Did your computer fail to open an AFL file? We explain what they are used for and recommend software that we know can open or otherwise handle your .AFL files.

What is an AFL file?

An .AFL file is an Allways soft Font file. These AFL files contain fonts used by Allways, a DTP quality plug-in for Lotus 1-2-3. You use this software in your Lotus 1-2-3 program to enhance the appearance of your database using different fonts, shading, and importing charts. You get this software for free with your Lotus 1-2-3 purchase.

How to open AFL files

Other file formats using extension .AFL

While Allways soft Font is a popular type of AFL-file, we know of 2 different uses of the .AFL extension.

The AFL file extension indicates to your device which app can open the file. However, different apps may use the same file extension for different types of data. So an AFL opener may not be able to open all kinds of AFL files. In this case, look through both formats to make sure you find the best suited AFL viewer.
