I'm not exactly sure what you mean here... but if you're thinking of <font>
tags, then yes, you can override them in your external CSS:

  font {font-family:sans-serif;...}

Depending on the document's markup, you could even be more specific:

  p.myclass font {font-family:sans-serif;text-decoration:underline;...;}
  td font {font-family:monospace;color:red;...;}
  font[size="4"] {font-size:1em;}
  ... and so on.

Not very elegant, but it works...
