I presume htmldoc does not support fontconfig or Opentype compatible Type 1 fonts?
Could you upgrade to use the new fonts by substituting or converting the metric
compatible URW Nimbus Type 1 fonts specified in
/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/30-metric-aliases.conf?

/usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/NimbusSans-Bold.afm
