If You prepare file for print - print house, You need embed fonts, or need text in curves. For what fonts without embed status?
If You need text in curves will do inside Scribus (click text inside Scribus and convert to curves), not when export to pdf.
Yes leaf, the generated PDF will be used by a professional printer; that's why I do need all fonts to be outlined (not embedded).
So, if I'm following, I need to convert all fonts to outline PRIOR to export to PDF?
What's with the «Outline all fonts» option in PDF export then?
Also, how can I select all the text areas in the document and convert them to outlines in one (or a couple of) click(s)?
Or do I have to do one text area after next? (which doesn't seem efficient...)

Basically you need to make sure that you have no styles (or sub-styles) that are set to fonts you're not actually using and also that the default text frame font (in Document Setup / Tools) is one that you are using.
Once you've done that you should be able to outline all of your fonts and have none embedded. Fingers crossed!
Thanks Garry, I did read this thread but my problem is the other way around.
I also did check that there are no font in the Document Setup that I don't use (I did have this issue before though...)
I thought too that with all correct boxes ticked I will end up with no font embedded, but nope...
In fact, the font embedded are not your normal Type1 (or OTF or TTF) font, but a Type3 font with a different name than the normal font name.
I have Fo0S0 and Fo1S0 font embedded (as Type3) in my document (instead of Avenir Light and Avenir Medium).
Unlike most other post in related thread my problem is that I don't want any font to be embedded.
I have yet to try with different fonts to see if I have the same issue.
When following leaf's advice (converting text to outline prior to export) I do end-up with a PDF with no font embedded...
But it's inefficient as I have to convert each text area individually
