Arial was in the extras repo because it was commercially licensed and not
freely redistributable, so OpenIndiana can't provide that version/package.

An older version of Arial is freely available from the old Microsoft WebFonts
pack though:   http://www.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/webfonts/
