I'm on Win10 Pro/64 1703. The needed fonts are not found by the program,
because they are not in my system (%windir%/fonts). In fpTTF only the
WinDir is added to the searchlist. So an Exception is raised and the
execution of the lcldemo stops here. The fonts are in the
fcl-report/demos/fonts.

The freetype dll searched by the fpreport was freetype-6.dll, but the
actual freetype-2.3.5-1-bin.zip has only a freetype6.dll. (Renaming is
not a problem for me)
It seems FreeType has some inconsistencies with its releases and
naming of the DLL. I have copies of freetype-6.dll, freetype6.dll and
freetype.dll - all version 6 and all downloaded from somewhere on the
Internet.
I guess the one good thing is that there is a fpReport TODO item to
remove the freetype*.dll dependencies for Windows in the future. That
is already possible with the AggPas exporter, but in that specific
case I prefer the freetype usage as it generates better text via
AggPas and has more features that the Windows Font API supports.
