Currently, it shows everything. I'm not sure what the plans are for remote searches, but I know that for local searches, the fact that it shows variants that aren't installed is a bug that will be fixed in build 109. > If this isn't possible via the pkg command, is it possible to find this > information in pkg.opensolaris.org via a web browser or other means? You can look at the manifest for the package via the BUI, and search for it that way. You can also pull the entire package with pkgrecv, and search through the manifest that it grabs for you. But, at least right now, pkg search shows that libXfont.so.1 is available on SPARC for builds 106-108. So I'm not sure why they're not seeing it. Does "pkg verify SUNWxwfsw" show any errors?
