Sorry, please see attachment which is the original message.
The issue was popped up for testing of "text installer" project, since
there are thousands of time zone combination globally, and it will be
too time-consuming iterate all the combination totally and verify one by
one during one test cycle. So I prefer to make a limited time zone list
for test. I will iterate all the time zone items on the list and verify
them one by one in text installer to make sure it shows/configures
correct Time Zone for installed Solaris system.

Thank you, currently, the text installer shows the following Time Zone
information, since I don't know if it is correct because it is not the
exactly you give. Could you review the list and make sure they are
correct? I guess the following Time Zone information was dynamically
generated by libzoneinfo.so library.
