texlive fonts configuration: cannot find Arial, Times

Hi

I'm starting to use texlive.
I installed texlive-full-20120701.

I need to build a document with these
declarations:

\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{subfigure}
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
\setsansfont{Arial}

Which seems to be a new standard way
of choosing fonts.

I get these errors with both lualatex and xelatex:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!
! fontspec error: "font-not-found"
! 
! The font "TimesNewRoman" cannot be found.
! 
! See the fontspec documentation for further information.
! 
! For immediate help type H <return>.
!...............................................  
                                                  
l.28 \setmainfont{Times New Roman}


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!
! fontspec error: "font-not-found"
! 
! The font "Arial" cannot be found.
! 
! See the fontspec documentation for further information.
! 
! For immediate help type H <return>.
!...............................................  
                                                  
l.29 \setsansfont{Arial}

I presume these basic fonts should be available
as part of the default installation, right?

So probably I haven't configured texlive fonts correctly?

I've these directories:

$ ls /usr/local/share/texmf-dist/fonts/
afm             enc             misc            ovf             sfd             truetype
cid             fea             ofm             ovp             source          type1
cmap            map             opentype        pk              tfm             vf

But not sure if this is enough.

Please advise

Many thanks

Anton
