[Qt-qml] Why can't I stylesheet a font?

[Jason H]

'Properties' might be confusing, 'inherits' would be even better, IMHO.

But yes, whatever the property name, inheriting one or more arbitary attribute 
sets would be very versatile. It should be trivial to implement as well. 
Gregory's impementation allows any collection of attributes, which is handy 
because 'color' is not a font proeprty, but is very likely to be specified along 
with the font.

Other names : 'apply', 'class[es]' (a la CSS), etc.

I really like Gregory's suggested implementation.
