Use Another Program
If you can’t view the PFT file by double-clicking it, try opening it in a different program. One of the most popular programs for opening PFT files is ChiWriter Printer Font. Check out the developers’ websites, download one or more of these programs, then try to open your PFT file again.
Get a Clue From the File Type
One file extension can be used for multiple types of files. Knowing the type of file you have can help you find out how to open it. Most PFT files are categorized as Uncommon Files, which can be opened by numerous software packages. See if you have a program already installed on your computer that’s designed to open Uncommon Files. Hopefully, this program might also work with your PFT file.
You can find out which type of file your PFT file is by looking at the file’s properties. Just right-click the file icon and select “Properties” or “More Info.” On a Windows computer, the file type will be listed under “Type of File”; on a Mac, it will be under “Kind.”
Contact a Developer
Nobody knows more about file extensions than software developers. If you can’t open your PFT file using any of the usual programs, you can contact the program’s software developer and ask them for help. Find your program’s developer in the list below:
| Software | Developer |
|---|---|
| ChiWriter Printer Font | Windows Software |
Get a Universal File Viewer
When no other program will open your PFT file, universal file viewers like File Magic (Download) are here to save the day. These programs can open many different types of files, so if none of the above tips work, a universal file viewer is the way to go. Note that some files are not compatible with universal file viewers and can only be opened in binary format.

ChiWriter 3 to RTF Convertor
The Zip file here contains software to convert CHI files generated by ChiWriter version 3 from Horstmann into rich text format (RTF) on a Windows 10 platform. Such files can then be opened, edited and printed in Word or WordPad. There are options to select all or a subset of CHI files from the chosen directory, or all CHI files in the current folder and all its sub-folders. For each file <name>.CHI, a file <name>.rtf is created in the same directory, (with additional digit characters if necessary to avoid over-writing existing files of the same name.) A log file is also created listing any issues with the conversion of each file. A version for running in Windows XP is given here.
There are some limitations. These involve primarily the occurrences of subscripts and superscripts. Specifically, only the first line of superscripts and subscripts are processed, i.e. superscripts of superscripts and subscripts of subscripts are ignored. Also, subscripts placed immediately below superscripts are omitted. A tiny number of symbols don't seem to have Unicode equivalents. Further, unlike ChiWriter, lines in the RTF do not have a fixed number of characters, and so any special left indentation of paragraphs may have been lost, as well as the centering of some line contents. Finally, with different paging in the RTF than in ChiWriter, some page-specific headers and footers have had to be omitted.
On the plus side, some attempt has been made to make accented characters from the Foreign and Greek fonts match the style and size of the rest of the words in which they sit.
Most other minor issues and choices such as type face and font size are easily sorted by editing the RTF file in Word or WordPad. WordPad is a cheap and cheerful product, but it ignores some RTF features such as page dimensions and horizontal lines which may appear in the converted files. Those mentioned appear in Word, but Word has its own issues. In particular, depending on the fonts available on the platform used, it may not render some standard Unicode characters correctly. The most likely to be affected are “Double-Stroke” (i.e. Blackboard font) letters from the MathII font, such as B (𝔹) for the Booleans. These are the only characters outside the “Basic Multilingual Plane” (BMP).

Chi Writer Writer
The conversion program is written in Delphi and was compiled using Embarcadero® Delphi 10.1 Berlin. You just need to extract the file CW2RTF.exe and run it. In that case, just ignore the other files in the zip file. However, if you are worried about the security of executing the program, you should examine the source code CW2RTFMain.pas in the Zip file and then re-compile it using a free trial version of Delphi.
ChiWriter 4 files have a different format and cannot be converted using this program. There are other programs for converting ChiWriter files, such as those given by and . Most of these translate into Latex or WordPerfect but may not run under Windows 10. This program is for those who don't want to have to learn or use Latex and are stuck with Windows 10.
