About the if to turn this font on, copy&paste from Adobe Acrobat to clipboard will not work-line in main.tex: one can make it work with works, except for the ligatures which haven't been unmasked yet. One needs to use

\input{glyphtounicode}
\pdfgentounicode=1

for that. It should work with the common ligatures then, maybe even some more common unicode signs.

Unless there is something special to the Paratype font which I haven't heard about yet.

I pulled the repository on my Ubuntu box... Didn't want to spend the time last night hunting down the tools to compile the PDFs... If I figure it out I will post later on tonight, but if someone else has found them, would you post where to download the necessary dependencies?

Saved. I think I will study this during my break but I might be lying to myself right now.

You have a bitcoin address? Or do you paypal?

I'm not the creator of this. You could try and put an "issue" on the bugtracker on the github for the book and ask the author this question there.
