The Claris font file format was used by ClarisWorks as its default font file format, storing font data or other font-related information for use in documents. It is a supporting file rather than a document format.
ClarisWorks was developed by Claris for Apple Macintosh computers and was also associated with Mac OS X software. The format is obsolete and is no longer in common use on current systems.
Open a .claf file with ClarisWorks on a Mac that can run that software. Current macOS versions may not support ClarisWorks or this older font format.
If the file belongs to a ClarisWorks installation or document collection, keep it with the related files so the program can locate the required font information.
Standalone .claf files are normally used through a compatible version of ClarisWorks rather than converted independently.
To preserve the appearance of a ClarisWorks document, open the document in a compatible environment and export or print the document to PDF.
