How do I set Permissions on Fonts?

My company has purchased 3 fonts from Adobe. According to the license agreement only 5 users may have access to them (not concurrent users but 5 altogether). This is no problem since I only have 5 that need to use them. My problem is I can not figure out how to restrict the use of these Fonts to just these 5 users. I installed the Fonts then set the security as follows:

1)I created a Security Group containing these users and gave them ‘Full Control”
2)I Turned off Inherited permissions and removed all but the above Group.

The Font did not show up in the font list in Word for any users.

1)I gave the System account “Full Control”

This worked fine, however, for users that did not have permissions to the fonts, a gray box appeared where the font would be listed, effectively hiding it from them. When a user clicks on the box they are able to use the Font anyway.

Any ideas?
