Sorry about that. AggPas uses the FreeType library (preferred - more 
features that GDI) or Windows GDI for font support. Seeing as that demo 
doesn't output text, I really should have disabled font support via

   {$DEFINE AGG2D_NO_FONT}

at the top of the unit, but I forgot to do that. So, you can do the 
above and recompile or...

Alternatively, simply copy the freetype.dll into the same directory as
the executable, or in your Windows System path. You can find a copy
included with fpGUI's code repository in a ZIP file located at:

   <fpgui>/extras/freetype_windows/freetype.zip
