You have to reinstall LaTeX2HTML for the new software.

In fact, it's just the pstoimg part that needs to be reinstalled
(assuming that you have the latest version of it, and the
installation scripts).

To get the required behaviour from  pnmcrop  (same as what you get
with the 8.** versions),  most instances need to use the new switch:

  pnmcrop -sides ......

while one needs to be   pnmcrop -verbose -sides ....

Yes; all of these differences are known.
The installation procedure sets up the correct switches for versions 9.*
of pnmcrop (but does do it right for 8.*s).

Scalable Type1 fonts and anti-aliasing in Ghostscript makes a huge
difference to appearance.


Hope this helps,
