  I think many have faced a similar problem. and I know how to fix it.

  1. download the files from the link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AGhypLHrnkAUFv4HH6E72fK2qNSwGrrU?usp=share_link. there I collected the necessary dlls.
  2. Replace files in nim/bin with previously downloaded files

  Please try to avoid having people download random files to help you. Library may be wrong architecture is probably a 32/64-bit issue.

  I found the necessary libraries for x64 on github and uploaded them to Google drive so that they are in one place. And by replacing the built-in libraries with new ones, all the problems disappeared. Tested on nimx. I have posted a link to Google drive here so that others don't have to search for the necessary files all over github for a long time. Unfortunately the moderators have hidden the link

  since a link to google drive is not welcome here. I'll post a link to the github https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_ttf/releases
