Thank you very much for all the information and suggestions. I am =
convinced that not all qfonts are available in MiKTeX 2.6. Yes, this =
could be a bug. I will report it.

As far as I can tell, tex-gyre supersedes some or all of the fonts from
the qfonts package. That said, it also looks like the MiKTeX qfonts
package fails to install all of the files associated with qfonts on
CTAN. You might consider filing a bug report (see the Bugs link on the
MiKTeX web site). In the meantime, if you wish to use qfonts instead of
tex-gyre you might have to install the package manually.
