So they stay in there after you safe the element? It's very important to 
find out where your classes are lost before trying to "fix" it!
Are they lost when saving? (so actually they never get saved in the DB)

so the form tag is saved in RTE and DB and shows up in the FE?
the class is saved in RTE and DB, but doesn't show up int the FE?

In that case you most likely need to have a look at TS lib.parseFunc_RTE 
and fiddle with the HTMLparser setup.

I haven't found an easy approach to that yet. It seems quite painful to 
get all that transformations as intended also imho it needs some decent 
knowledge/understanding about Typoscript and (RTE-)TSConfig in order to 
set them up.

add 'denyTags=font' here.

You might also need to apply it to 
RTE.config.tt_content.bodytext.proc.entryHTMLparser_db.removeTags = font.

for your classes issue you might need to take a deeper look into 
lib.parseFunc_RTE. don't knwo never used classes on <form>

P.S.:
I am currently working again on a nice RTE-setup, took me a while again 
to get <font> removed. I think can make a little screeny with the setup 
when I am through with it.
