[Qgis-user] Different font styles for different label classes

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi List,
I have a single layer I'd like to label in such a way that different
attributes will get different font styles. For example, a water based label
would have the Style attribute "waterText", and would be styled as blue
italics. Another label might have a Style attribute of "heritigateText" and
be in bold black. (For reference: ArcGIS calls these "classes")
I've looked at both of the labelling engines that come as default with QGIS
but can't see any obvious way to do this in either.
The closest I can find is copying the dataset as many new layers and using
the "subset" query builder for each layer before then labelling the entire
layer. But that's obviouslly quite cludgy.

Can QGIS do this?
Thanks,
Jonathan
