> >> tex4ht makes use of unicode letter when this is not needed...

In its default configuration, TeX4ht tries to address a middle road
with the objective to satisfy large assortment of users, uses, and
tools.  It is difficult to argue a proper way of behavior that will be
acceptable to all.  On the other hand, tex4ht is highly configurable
and variations to the default settings are quite often easy to
achieve.

Under the current font schema introduced half a year ago, it is
trivial to adjust tex4ht to ignore ligatures.  All it takes is just
adding the following lines into the unicode.4hf file of the character
encoding in use.

    'fi' ''  'fi'  '' 
    'fl' ''  'fl'  '' 
    'ff' ''  'ff'  '' 
    'ffi' ''  'ffi' '' 
    'ffl' ''  'ffl' '' 

These entries are currently included in the default setting for the
iso-8859-1 encoding due to font problems at users' browsers.
