Yes that seems correct when I look at my system I do have those fonts.

So it also seems that the texlive-xetex package and the various 
dependencies are different across one or more distributions - Linux eh? 
'Doncha juss lovvit?'

Going back through my checkins for the CG I also note that we didn't 
suggest XeTeX when I did all those different distributions, so we *do* 
need to make some additional caveats.

I'll create a ticket.
