The problem is, that this font is not available as OpenType and I want 
especially this font and no other.

But Scribus is the only application I use, that doesn't want to 
recognize AgfaRotis and I want this font.
Even Inkscape and Sodipodi work well with this font, only Scribus 
doesn't. In Mac-Applications I never recognized a problem either.

There is no .dfont with AgfaRotis.
