This is an awesome font; thanks for making it available! I confess that I have not yet gone to the effort to set it up on my web site (but I might!). In the meantime, here are a couple of suggestions about making the font easier and less risky for people to use.
First, do I have to host this font myself or is it available on a CDN? I found what looks to be a version here: http://www.jsdelivr.com/projects/font-et-book. But I don't know if it is the same or not. I think it would make the font easier for people to use if it were available from a CDN and if the README gave explicit hand-holding instructions about how to use it, similarly to what Google Fonts provides.
Second, I have been burned in the past by fonts that look good on my development machine (OS X) but look bad on Windows. (I have heard this can be fixed with ttfautohint, but I have never actually experimented, and also that only works if self-hosting.) Assuming this font is properly hinted to look good on Windows, it would be great to say that in the README so people know.
