[Qgis-user] How do I specify several different marker symbols for a single layer?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

Background symbols for highway numbers are better done in the labelling 
settings, and not with different styles. That you way you only need one 
layer and one category - the rest is done with rules for the individual 
graphical properties. You can use CASE rules for having different simple 
shape or SVG backgrounds.
