"UnknownErrorException: Unable to load font data at: C:\Users\lorens\Desktop\pdf-md2\node_modules\pdfjs-dist\standard_fontsFoxitSans.pfb". Writing to example-withe-error.md... Done.

The font path missing a "\", the path should be some C:\Users\lorens\Desktop\pdf-md2\node_modules\pdfjs-dist\standard_fonts\FoxitSans.pfb instead of C:\Users\lorens\Desktop\pdf-md2\node_modules\pdfjs-dist\standard_fontsFoxitSans.pfb.

Check whether you can config some options to change the font path.
