Scribus only insists on outlining OTF fonts but can embed TTF fonts in PDF.
Check settings in Preferences->Fonts, column "subset" or "outline".

Apparently Scribus also outlines TTF fonts if they have more than a certain
(large) number of glyphs.

I'm not sure if the following change made it into 1.3.3.9, but recent
versions
of Scribus produce searchable/selectabale text when producing PDF (there may
be still be problems with spaces at the wrong positions)
