You mean in the side bar Styles>Character which should be Styles>Font, for
consistency, and well a character isn't a whole font:  It does the exact same
thing as the font selection dropdown in the toolbar, so no it doesn't change
anything but show that both are equally cumbersome, counter productive, and not
truly WYSIWYG.
