Hiding Licensed Fonts from Users

Paid font file locations currently appear as plain-text in the page source. I would like to request that they are obscured from users to protect the terms of their license. Further, if the final product is exported to PDF, the fonts need to either be converted to paths or embedded securely in the PDF without the possibility of being extracted.

 

Please +upvote if you too would like to see this important feature added.

Even if we obfuscate the url, the font is loaded anyway into the browser and technically experienced user are able to download this file via the web console.

Addendum: While I'm aware that hiding the files requires server side obfuscation, could the dev not in the interim move the font reference out of the page header and into a separate file?.. At least then it's less obvious to the casual observer.
