Public bug reported:
The current font family info box makes the assumption that all fonts in
the family have equivalent meta-data (designer, foundry, license, etc.),
and so simply selects one font and displays its meta-data as
representative of the entire family.
In cases where the fonts in the family do not have the same data
(perhaps different designers), the info box should select the distinct
values for each field and display them in a list.
Recall that the font family meta-data is not stored in the oflb_famlies
table (except for the name and description) and is instead selected on
the fly from the included font flies.
