It installs only one default font; if you require alternative font s you must install these using the Fonts item of the Windows Control Panel. The distribution include sample VB6 and C/C++ programs (and their source code) i llustrating the use of the Aztec font. These programs are installed in the subdi rectories VB6 and VC6 respectively. Samples illustrating the use of the fonts in Access are installed in the access subdirectory. A sample illustrating the use of a fully-managed-code component for use with Vis ual Studio .NET 2005 or later is placed in the qrcnet directory. This sample req uires the presence of the .NET runtime (version 2.0) which may be obtained from the Microsoft web site. The managed-code component is QRCNET.DLL. 32 bit installation The files DQRDF.DLL and DQRDFU.DLL are placed in the Windows System32 directory on a 32 bit machine, or into the SysWOW64 directory when performing a 32 bit ins tallation on a 64 bit machine. The file QROCX.OCX is installed and registered in the installation directory. The OCX is independent of the DLL. For DLL use the file DQRDF.DLL or DQRDFU.DLL may be copied to the subdirectory c ontaining the application you are developing.
