Black background (not translucent) / missing text and ugly font choice on Windows #7

Here's a workaround (actually simpler than what you do now) - create debug/disambiguation canvases using Canvas.from_screen, for example:

disambiguation_canvas = Canvas.from_screen(screen.main())

I found the appearance is improved if you remove c.paint.typeface = "arial" - Skia picks something OS-specific which looks better.

Here's how it looks now with everything fixed:

Also would recommend not using embolden (synthetic bold) when fonts should have true bold. I was able to construct a true bold system font like this:

                from talon.skia.typeface import Typeface, Fontstyle
                c.paint.typeface = Typeface.from_name('', Fontstyle.new(weight=700, width=5))

Or to go back to the system font:

               c.paint.typeface = ''

These all sound like great changes! Do you want to just send me a pull request? If for some reason that would be difficult, I can make the changes myself.
