Increasing the font size in the Spotify Linux client.

Figured out how to increase the font scale – and smoothen out the fonts – in the Spotify Linux client.

It goes something like this:

$ /usr/lib64/spotify-client/spotify --enable-font-antialiasing --force-device-scale-factor=1.25

Much the same arguments as from Chromium. 🙂

You can set the parameters on the application launcher by editing /usr/share/applications/spotify.desktop

Exec=sh -c "spotify %U --enable-font-antialiasing --force-device-scale-factor=1.1"

Make sure you restart gnome-shell – it seems to otherwise cache entries.

This trick even works for the WordPress client app for desktop!
