0.91 improved the ability to select different font faces from the same family. Since we rely on CSS styling for face selection there is a limit to what we can support which still leads to some problems (e.g. not being able to distinguish between Museo Sans Rounded 100 and 300 which both map to 'Light'). The text tool bar shows the face name according to CSS. Both the CSS and designer font face name is shown in the Text and Font dialog.
