Thanks!
I manually added these conditionals to the uses section of the unit
that complained about the TLogFont and its properties:
{$IFDEF FPC}
  LCLIntf,
  LCLType,
  LMessages,
{$ELSE}
  Windows,
{$ENDIF}

With this in place the compiler did not stop there anymore! :-)

But now I am stuck at this code section, which has a similar cause I'm
sure:

  FPlotImage.Canvas.Brush.Color := clFill;
  FPlotImage.Canvas.Brush.Style := bsSolid;
  FPlotImage.Canvas.FloodFill(nX, nY, clOrg, fsSurface);

On the last line FPC complains: "Identifier not found "fsSurface""

In Delphi7 this constant is defined in Windows, but now when I have
replaced Windows by the three files you suggested it still does not
work. How can i find out where in Lazarus this constant is defined?

I might add that Google just leads me to bible quotes (Lazarus) or to
Delphi, which is not what I need...
