Issue
There are a lot of similar opened issues, but all miss the steps to reproduce the bug.
I noticed that it depends on backgroundColor setting.
Nano labels are not readable if backgroundColor setting is an rgba color with opacity different from 1.
Thanks for your great work btw :)

backgroundColor: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, .9)',

backgroundColor: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)',

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in vanilla Hyper.app with the backgroundColor setting in .hyper.js, comparing rgba opacity below 1 with opacity 1. Trace the nano label rendering and styling from that configuration; done means labels remain readable with translucent background colors.
