I understand that one should (?) be using UNICODE for html. But using this with tex4ht, always makes "ff" look strange. Why does this happen for "ff"? and based on this test below, should one instead use iso-8859-1 encoding when using htlatex to generate HTML from Latex, or may be I am not using the correct combination of options?
Given this latex file
\documentclass{article}%
\begin{document}
\title{Kamke differential equations}
\maketitle
\end{document}
Here are 5 different htlatex commands: 3 used utf8, one does not use any encoding (default), and finally one uses iso-8859-1. The iso option generated the best result. This is on windows using firefox.

Update
Result using provided test below is shown in this image. It shows a problem.
I've put the zip file which contains all output and the HTML file in this folder
I am using firefox 20, windows 7
<meta... charset=...
meta element in the head.htlatex aa11.tex "htm,uni-html4" " -cunihtf-utf8"
The generated htm(l) file is declared as utf8, but in all casesff
is encoded (and rendered correctly) asff
Can you put a sample that renders incorrectly on a web site somewhere so it shows what encoding you declare in the http headers
