Save the document in RTF format, open the file WITHOUT interpreting the RTF
code, look at the beginning of the document for /f# Courier and /f# Times,
do a change from the Courier font number (the /f#) to the Times font number.

As for the multiple-type (font/format) stuff, you can do that, but you have
to know what you're looking for (I don't mess with RTF all that much).
