I have a string handled by PHP. What's the best way to strip all "font" tags from that string? For example, I want $new_mystr to be obtained from $mystr.

E.G. Input

(Toggle Plain Text)

$mystr = '<div class="content"><p>Hello to all. <font face="Calibri"><font size="3">Goodbye</font></font></p></div>';

E.G. Output

(Toggle Plain Text)

$new_mystr = '<div class="content"><p>Hello to all. Goodbye</p></div>';
