I am trying to use Italic scientific name in my legend, I am using QGIS 3.4.

I can not figure out how to do only two-word italic without having the rest of the description being italic. Is it possible to italic only the name in a legend description?

    Can you post a sample picture on how you would like the legend to look like?

  • No, it's not possible. The best workaround is the digital equivalent of putting a postit note on something before you run it through a copy machine. Set up an html frame as explained by HDunn below. Arrange it so that the text is arranged with exactly the same spacing as the original legend, and make the background opaque. Then put the html frame on top of the legend, so that it hides the original text.

Use the span tags in an html frame in the print layout. The regular text box only lets you define the style for the entire box, the html frame lets you control individual characters/words.

On the right side of your Print Layout Window you switch to the Tab "Element properties" of your legend item. The third point here (below "Legend Elements") should be "Fonts". Here you can configure the fonts used in your legend.
