Hi,

a launcher is not a shell. Therefor, you can't use shell syntax like
`&&`.
As LibreCAD is based on Qt4 or Qt5 depending on your version of
LibreCAD, you should check out the corresponding documentation on how
to set the DPI in Qt applications. See
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Qt for some information.
