not sure if it has been mentioned (not worth mentioning in a bug)

typing the name of a font is now annoying if you have font with the same prefix already included in your document.  this is especially annoying for related fonts (not font families)  like source sans pro and source code pro

not really sure if there is a better way to fix this since the intended behavior could be to select the font already included.  its just weird sometimes not having them next to each other in the list after typing (I probably have to untrain myself)
