There's more than that, but you have to install them from the package
repo, because they don't fit in the LiveCD. (Many of the added ones
are locale specific though.)

When you download SXCE from Sun, you agree that you are getting it for your
own use only and will not pass it on to others.
When you download OpenSolaris, you can get it from anyone and give it to
anyone - but that means we can't include things that aren't freely
redistributable by others in the LiveCD or main repository.
It sounds like you're talking about the "Microsoft Web Core Fonts" pack
that's in Nevada (Arial, Georgia, Verdana, Comic Sans, etc.).
Work is in progress to add that to the non-redistributable repository,
since our license doesn't allow us to put them up for free redistribution
(since otherwise, why would anyone pay the company we licensed them from
instead of just grabbing them from us or any of our mirrors for free?).
