I don't know about iUniverse, but I produced 4 textbooks with LaTeX  
with LuLu.com and they came out perfect. I had many footnotes and  
margin notes. The PDFs generated also have hyperlinked bookmarks and  
table of contents and a nice regular font as well as colored text.

here are the LaTeX sources as well as the final PDFs
