[tex-live] Re: tex4ht bugfix

[Eitan Gurari]

Staszek,

Tex4ht apparently had a broken code for reseting TEX4HTFONTSET, with
the help of xputenv, based on the information provided in the
i-records.  I placed a revised version of tex4ht.c at

   http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/bugfixes.html

I wonder whether that will suffice to solve the interaction problems
of tex4ht with kpathsea.
