The trouble is that in the interests of packing as many things into
256-character fonts as possible, Knuth decided to use glyph identity
rather than character identity. So in TeX, Latin A and Greek A are
the same thing, and when converting to HTML, you have to make a choice,
which is always going to be Latin A. The same is true of Greek B, H,
I, K, M, N, O, P, T, and X.
