Again: Paint.Background and Paint.Brush are the same property, with a 
different syntax. There is no "foreground" or "background" color with 
the Paint class. Paint.Background is there only to ease the 
implementation of the Draw class on top of the Paint class.

Please read the Paint class documentation carefully, and/or the cairo 
documentation, to understand the concept of path.

In your code, Paint.Fill() fills the path defined by Paint.Text with the 
black color affected to Paint.Brush(), that's all.
