(Don't know if this code works,... I just quickly wrote it... but....)

Maybe you could find all the <font> elements with:

    var font_elements = document.getElementsByTagName("font");

And then iterate though them all and replace the <font> with a <span>.
 Maybe with something like:

    if ( font_elements && font_elements.length ) {
        for (var i = font_elements.length-1; i>-1; i--) {
            // Create a <span> that we can use to replace the <form>.
            // (Probably should check for errors, but don't here.)
            var span_element = document.createElement("span");

            var font_element = font_elements[i];

            // There's a race condition here.  (Should probably do
this in a better way.)
            span_element.innerHTML = font_element.innerHTML;

            // Get the parent.
            // (Probably should check for errors, but don't here.)
            var parent = font_element.parentNode;

            parent.replaceChild(span_element, font_element);

        } // for
    }
