Oh, I think I didn't write clearly what I meant. I wanted to know if 
those pdfs you create with OO / Linux display correctly on a Windows 
machine.

Hehe, I didn't get a popup - neither with Windows nor with Linux. But I 
got the same wrong display of "Initiative" and "Publication" that you 
see, even with Windows. That is of course because I don't have those 
fancy fonts installed on Windows. I think you should persuade your PHB 
to change the settings of the BCLeasyPDF to embed all fonts. Do you need 
a screen shot how it looks like with Adobe reader on Windows without 
those fance fonts installed?
