You are not doing anything wrong.  I believe this is a problem
with the fonts, which I have reported, but I have not yet heard a
reply.

These are OpenType fonts and the names you (Urs) are seeing are
those from the OpenType name tables.  AIUI OpenType provides a
wrapper around a CFF (postscript) font.  This CFF font has
different family names, which are the ones Justus has listed.

Freetype (used on Linux) only looks at the OpenType name tables.  I
don't know what other systems do.  (fontforge can show you both.)
