Re-submitted anyway.

It adds Paint.Font, Paint.FillText and Paint.StrokeText to the mix.

Paint font is a css string https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_font_font.php
that's what the canvas wants, wasn't sure how to make it WebFont or if
Benoit would think it should be or not.

Because Canvas has it's own fillText and strokeText functions i emulated
them instead of using a method that would then use Paint.Stroke or
Paint.Fill after.
