It is professional because it is the system used by publishing houses.

ok thanks - sorry for mis-understanding. I did not realise that you buy "use but not share" permissions, which let you legally sell as many copies of the books as you can. Seems strange that you are contractually expected to somehow prevent the purchased font from being lifted out of the books and reused though, as that's probably doable even with obfuscation
