Collapse 2 str_repace stmts with wildcard

Code:

$fileData1 = str_replace("<FONT face='Arial' size='3'>", "", $fileData1);
$fileData1 = str_replace("<FONT face='Courier' size='3'>", "", $fileData1);

I'm not getting the wildcard syntax to collapse these 2 stmts into 1:

Code:

$fileData1 = str_replace("<FONT face='[^'*] size='\d+'>", "", $fileData1);

* applies to the previous thing in most cases. It does not when you use it in a character set: there it means a literal asterisk.

Code:

'[^']*'

In str_replace()?

Really?

I'd rather use preg_replace() for that purpose...
