This does not cause a new problem for users who might set their font foreground color to transparent black, because transparent font foreground colors always return an empty bounds anyway (by virtue of being transparent).

Does anyone have time to provide a second review on this PR before the end of the year? Phil has already verified that all tests pass. Thanks!
