[fpc-devel] ftfont and FreeType

[Werner Pamler]

I am having issues in the nogui demo of TAChart with FPC 3.2.0. It uses 
the FCL unit ftfont and crashes at runtime with

     Project noguidemo.exe raised exception class 'EInOutError' with 
message:
     Can not load Freetype library "freetype.dll". Check your installation.

This does not happen when I compile exactly the same program with FPC 3.0.4

Since I see in the ftfont code the directive {$DEFINE DYNAMIC} I 
downloaded the freetype.dll from the 
https://github.com/ubawurinna/freetype-windows-binaries (recommended by 
freetype.org) into the exe directory, but it still does not run (same 
error).

Any idea what I can do to make the program work again? I am on Windows 10.
