Thank you for the pointer.

Tried this, running ~/bin/librecad from the CLI works beautifully, but if I put ~/bin/librecad %F in the launcher it gives me an error window , 
Failed to execute ~/bin/librecad %F
Failed to execute child process "~/bin/librecad" (no such file or directory)

and if I put /home/ron/bin/librecad $1 in the launcher  LibreCAD starts with the unreadable small font.

? ? ? ?
 
Cheers,
 
Ron.
