I think the best thing to do is to create one file that you'll use as a template for all later files.

I don't think there's any convenient way to convert a batch of previously created files, unfortunately.

There is.
It's called a macro recorder, as the one that exists since win3.0...
In your case, you may want to use AutoIt (version 2 is enough, version 3 is more tough) which can send the same series of keystrokes (or mouse events) to the application you want (here, the keys needed in NWC to perform the fonts' changes).
If you want to change the fonts in the same manner on your files, of course!
Just pick on a paper what you type usually (you may want not to use the mouse, anything can be done without it in your case), and enter it the proper way into an AutoIt script.
you may find it (freeware of course) here : http://www.hiddensoft.com/AutoIt/. There are example of script in it. You even may .Exe from scripts

HTH!
