It actually has all of these options.  Changing font size and face is
considered very poor practice with respect to modern CSS designs, and
so is turned off by default.  The style menu needs to be populated
specifically for your project.

Changing the rich text editor in 4.0 is completely different to 3.0.
The only reason the options are left in there at all is for backwards
compatibility for 3.0 users referencing the old ui elements.

Read this page:

Once you get through that, let me know what doesn't make sense and
I'll try and fill in the gaps :)
