OOo has a GUI.. Works for me.
embedded fonts.. what does that mean?
If on CLI, the util's called ps2pdf. You just print it out into
postscript format. (.ps) and then
ps2pdf *.ps
The other thing may be because you lack the fonts? Or maybe your reader
doesn't have the fonts.
Try installing acroread instead. There's one at dags
