tex4ht makes use of unicode letter when this is not needed. This happens when the latex code contains the sequence ff or fi and maybe other sequences. For example, here is a latex code and the html code generated by ht4tex and htlatex. Note how the sequence fi was translated to #xFB01;

Dear Eitan, Thanks for your work on this bug. A couple of things will slow down the incorporation of these changes into Debian packages. 1. I am currently in transit so I won't really be able to download the changed files right away. 2. Debian is currently in freeze pending a release so only

I modified the bugfixes distribution to provide reduced usage of unicode values in iso-8859-1 output. The requests are to be made through commands similar to htlatex file iso8859/1/charset/less/! or by modifying the charset paths in tex4ht.env accordingly. Currently the only cases

Kapil, I agree the ligatures shouldn't be represented by bitmaps. To deal just with those cases a nolig file can be a copy of ht-fonts/iso8859/1/charset/unicode.4hf stored at ht-fonts/iso8859/1/charset/nolig/unicode.4hf augmented with entries similar to '#xFB01;' '' 'fi' ''

Kapil, Some background information regarding the problem. In the `old days', tex4ht provided for a given (la)tex font different htf fonts addressing different character sets. For instance, the (la)tex cmr family of fonts had htf fonts under the unicode and iso-8859-1 branches. In the iso
