Folks, I guess that this is mainly addressed to whoever packages tetex-latex, but may be of interest to others. The version of latex2html which comes with tetex-latex-2.0.2-13 havs 'japanese' as default language (see /usr/share/latex2html/l2hconf.pm, lines 735 and 927). While in general is probably not the best option, the problem is that I found no (documented) way of overriding them but by changing this configuration file by hand (the -iso_language option did not work). The effect of not changing it is that HTML files end up with japanese encoding, and accented characters are displayed with japanese script.
