So, back to the original question - is there a "normal" colour 64 bit version, or likely to be? Per druban's post it seems not right now. I don't mind the dark theme that much but still...

v2.37 corrects one problem but causes another. You need Type Light for v2.37.

Can text properties (e.g. font) be changed simultaneously on multiple selected objects, even those within a group, without ungrouping first? I know it can be done if the objects are not grouped: select objects, pick text tool, change font on toolbar. But nothing happens to grouped objects. Is there...
