The dvi files that are produced are perfectly fine.

I meant with arev.sty. If I don't use arev.sty, equations look fine
and come out in computer modern.

Indeed the above typesets fine. I think I was not clear, though,
earlier. It's not that nothing comes out with the equations, just some
of the glyphs turn into open boxes. In my example the letters A, and G
(but not M) were open boxes as were all the numbers. So, if I change
your displayed equation line to \[ b A_1\], the b appears fine, but
not the A or the 1.

It seems like at some step htlatex cannot find the right fonts. I
called your example, with my addition of A_1, "sample2.tex" and I can
find written to stdout the following warning:

tex4ht.c (2006-09-13-14:27 kpathsea)
tex4ht dirchar
  sample2
  -i~/tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex4ht/ht-fonts/
(/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/tex4ht/base/unix/tex4ht.env)
(/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/tex4ht/ht-fonts/iso8859/1/charset/unicode.4hf)
(/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/arev/zavmri7m.tfm)
--- warning --- Couldn't find font `zavmri7m.htf' (char codes: 0--127)

and later:

(/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/arev/zavmr7t.tfm)
--- warning --- Couldn't find font `zavmr7t.htf' (char codes: 0--170)

When I do the following:

dvips -E -Ppdf -mode ibmvga -D 110 -f sample2.idv -pp 1  > zzsample2.ps

the zzsample2.ps file has the empty boxes for A and 1 problem.
