For the second time: NO.

You have two choices:

 (1) Don't change your documents. I.e., use the 2.09 compatibility mode.

 (2) If you really want to transform them to LaTeX2e:
     Do not only change \documentstyle to \documentclass, add also
     \usepackage{newlfont}.


Executive summary:

  For 2.09 documents:
    \documentstyle[newlfont]{foo} --> \documentclass{foo}       **BAD**
    \documentstyle[newlfont]{foo} --> \documentclass{foo}
                                      \usepackage{newlfont}     **GOOD**
  or
    \documentstyle[oldlfont]{foo} --> \documentclass{foo}
                                      \usepackage{oldlfont}     **GOOD**

Simple, isn't it?


Cheers,
        Joachim
