It only affects the appearance of various dialogs, and occasionally the field names, which can be (usually trivially) different -- not what fields are provided. Perhaps we need to put a note at the beginning of each chapter to remind people that the books use the LibO dialogs and the Galaxy font set, because otherwise what you see depends on your operating system and we can't possible cover all of them.
