Hmm; could be.
More likely is that, with the update, you are now using bitmapped fonts,
whereas previously you were using PostScript outlines (i.e. .pfb files)
or perhaps vice-versa.

I suggest that you run some tests of LateX2HTML, using the -debug  
switch.
Observe in the log-window where the fonts are coming from.

Also, look at  images.dvi  (and perhaps also at  images.log )
to see if anything looks wrong.
In  images.dvi  each image should be bracketed left & below by
an L-shape, which is used to control the size of the image by
its inside height and width.  If that L isn't formed cleanly
then you'll get incomplete cropping to the correct size.

We need a fuller diagnosis first.
Hopefully the above will help you do this.
