There is quite a lot of unicode.4hf versions generated from tex4ht-fonts-4hf.tex: tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/unicode/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/unicode/html/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/win/1251/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/utf8/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/gbk/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/symbol/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/viscii/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/viqr/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/html-speech/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/mozilla/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/mozilla/charset/mnemonic/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/mozilla/charset/native/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/cp1256/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/ooffice/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/gb2312/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/koi/8r/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/iso8859/2/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/iso8859/2/html/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/iso8859/5/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/iso8859/5/html/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/iso8859/1/charset/uni/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/iso8859/1/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/iso8859/1/html/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/iso8859/6/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/iso8859/6/html/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/iso8859/7/charset/unicode.4hf tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/jsml/charset/unicode.4hf if I understand it correctly, tex4ht search directories specified in font sections in tex4ht.env. These sections can be selected with `-c` option for tex4ht command. Default section is <default> i~/tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/iso8859/1/! i~/tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/ascii/! i~/tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/alias/! i~/tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/mozilla/! i~/tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/unicode/! </default> I think that first unicode.4hf file which is found is used, but I am not sure the mechanism which is used for location. By default, ht-fonts/iso8859/1/html/charset/unicode.4hf is used on my machine, with -cunihtf it is ht-fonts/unicode/html/charset/unicode.4hf I don't understand why ht-fonts/unicode/charset/unicode.4hf is not used instead. Anyway, unicode.4hf files are important for output encodings different that utf-8, as they specify charcodes to which should be unicode entities specified in the DVI file transformed. With -utf8 option, tex4ht output in utf-8 encoding and unicode.4hf is used only to output some characters as named entities for example, or "fi" ligature as literal "fi". It seems that issue someone had on TeX.sx with Miktex [1] is that wrong `unicode.4hf` file is used, it can't find the one in `unicode` dir and instead the one in `iso8859/1` is used, which results in file with declared `utf-8` encoding, but characters in `iso8859` encoding. I am not sure what is the issue here. It seems that the .4hf files are in correct places, but tex4ht can't find them. Last thing that I've found is that we don't generate the .4hf files from the sources at the moment, there is no target for tex4ht-fonts-4hf.tex in the Makefile. It is also so huge file, that the compilation fails with capacity exceeded. It can be compiled with LuaLaTeX though. The generated files seems to be incorrect, as they include copyright notice at the beginning and tex4ht complains about incorrect entries.
