Actually, it is NOT limited to those fonts. In the "CD Extras" folder on the CD, there is a folder called "Language Kits CD Extras"; this contains disk images with various extras for each script, typically including more fonts, more keyboard layouts, localized versions of SimpleText, and sometimes various utilities (like a Chinese simplified <-> traditional text converter). The Central European extras include 5 more fonts (Times CE, Helvetica CE, Palatino CE, etc.).
