[Lazarus] Freetype-6.dll not found
I have written a program that uses ftfont, and it works fantastically on Linux, but fails to start under Windoze with the above error message. I have installed the FreeType package, and restarted the computer, and still nothing. Any suggestions? -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

Re: [Lazarus] Freetype-6.dll not found
Check if freetype-6.dll is in same dir as the executable or in windows dir. Have you set the search path for font manager? Something like this: FontMgr.SearchPath := 'c:\windows;c:\windows\fonts'; Hope it helps.
