Greg & JLuc, great elaborations!
I wonder what theoretical way could Scribus help those who don't understand
this... to understand this via the GUI?

Perhaps in the Preflight Verifier? (specifically for the fonts that need
outlining) ("We've detected a font used that requires arteficial outlining
of each font, this most likely will increase the size of the file")
Or even better a prominent pop up profile that descriptively offers what
JLuc above was saying he uses depending on what the output is for be it a
printer or for the web.
