In drop-down list of fonts you'll notice "OTF" icon for OpenType fonts, "TTF" icon for TrueType fonts and "1PS" icon for PostScript Type 1 fonts.
Also, you can embed any OpenType font into your document by unchecking "Subset" checkbox for that particular font in "File > Preferences > Fonts". After that, you can choose to embed OTF fonts when creating a PDF file instead of to create outlines. I hope some of devs would explain why this isn't set as default, since it is very likely that most people would want to embed their fonts, not outline them.
