[hlx] Hyperlatex doesn't work with Emacs 23?

[Todd H. <he...@ae...>]

I cannot get Hyperlatex (2.9a) to work on Fedora 11 (with Emacs 23.1.1). 
The HTML output contains strange characters, and therefore does not display
properly.  The problem occurs with even the simplest input files--e.g.,

  \documentclass[12pt]{article}
  \usepackage{hyperlatex}
  \begin{document}
  This is a test.
  \end{document}

The complete HTML output from this input file is appended below.  It contains
several strange characters:

  "¼" (#c2bc) ...... appears instead of "<"
  "¾" (#c2be) ...... appears instead of ">"
  "¢" (#c2a2) ...... appears (sometimes) instead of a double quote
  "ü" (#c3bc)
  "î" (#c3ae)

Can anyone tell me what's going on here, or how to fix it?

For the record, the problem still occurs even with Hyperlatex 2.7.  But on
Fedora 10 (with Emacs 22.3.1) everything works fine--with either
Hyperlatex 2.7 or Hyperlatex 2.9a.

Thank you very much for any help you can give me.

Kind regards,
