I am not 100% sure, but some freetype.dll versions can depend on zlib1.dll. I.e. you need to copy zlib1.dll to the exe directory as well.

Actually I just found an info about it: https://wiki.freepascal.org/FPReport_FAQ (see Lazarus does not start anymore in Windows).
Thanks Ondrej. But I think I made a stupid mistake and probably had chosen the wrong bitness version from the download site because now the demo is working in both 32 and 64 bit, without zlib1.dll.

I still wonder why the FCL freetype support was changed to require the dll now while it was not in the old FPC version. BTW, this breaking change is not mentioned on the "New Features" (https://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_New_Features_3.2.0) nor on the "User Changes" pages (https://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_3.2.0).
