scaling for appimage

I have been studying this a lot and finally after changing to a new high resolution monitor I am making progress. One app in particular opens very tiny. I was able to fix it by running this command in terminal
[QT_FONT_DPI=240 ./Cute_Chess-1.4.0-x86_64.AppImage]
but when I try to make a launcher with the same command it again I get the error:
Failed to execute child process "QT_FONT_DPI=240" (No such file or directory)
What am I doing wrong on the launcher? Thanks

Re: scaling for appimage

You could try adding the line to /etc/environment. It should work universally.

You have to use env for the variable :

env QT_FONT_DPI=240 /path/to/Cute_Chess-1.4.0-x86_64.AppImage
