Disable ligatures when using mk4ht to create html

Question

How can I easily disable all ligatures, when converting my LaTex-file to html?

For the html-generation I am using the command-line

mk4ht htlatex file.tex 'xhtml,charset=utf-8' ' -cunihtf -utf8 -cvalidate' '-d./html/'

My latex document begins with the following lines

\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[none]{hyphenat}
\usepackage{microtype}

As suggested in How can I completely suppress ligatures? I tried the following options for microtype: \DisableLigatures[f]{encoding = *, family = * }

The html-output though still contains characters ﬁ.

I don't think that hyphenat and microtype make much sense for htlatex. — egreg, Jun 15, 2012 at 14:56
@egreg You are right for htlatex but the document is intented for compilation using pdflatex. I only need to create an html once my document is ready. — Peter Pablo, Jun 18, 2012 at 8:22

Trying several different options led to the following simple solution:

htlatex file.tex

I did not modify my preamble (stated in the question) and did not enable the command \DisableLigatures.

This does not work for me. Just running htlatex produces file which contains ligature characters instead of separated letters; ligatures are not acceptable for my use case.
