Installing GTK+ didn't work for me. I solved this problem using UniConverter2.0. My environments is

  • Python 3.7
  • Windows 10 x64
  1. Install uniconvertor-2.0rc4-win64_headless.msi,
  2. Find the "dll" sub-directory under the UniConverter installation path.(In my case, C:\Program Files\UniConvertor-2.0rc4\dlls)
  3. Add this "dll" path to the system path.
  4. Close VSCode and reopen the project.
  5. Try to run the server again. Enjoy!
