<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Hello list<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">I want to vary the size of my labels on features both by attribute and map scale. So, for example, I have a layer of towns and villages and I want towns labelled
with a font size of 20 and villages with a font size of 10. I can do this with in the label size expression builder:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">CASE WHEN “type” = ‘town’ THEN 20 ELSE 10 END<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Now, how can I vary the label size with scale? When the scale is smaller than 1:100000 then towns must be size 15 and villages size 8. I thought something like this
would work:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">(CASE WHEN “type” = ‘town’ AND $scale < 100000 THEN 20 ELSE 10 END) OR (CASE WHEN “type” = ‘town’ AND $scale > 100000 THEN 15 ELSE 8 END)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">I tried with the $scale function under Record category but then the labels disappeared.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Any suggestions?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
