+X don't open a window the size of the pdf if in pdf mode
+X   need to have some sort of flag in the gfx context that it's visible or not
+o   handled inside updateSize()?
+X   if it doesn't display to the screen, needs to never show a window
+X   basically if the main gfx context isn't viewable, close the window
+X   since it may have already been opened at 100x100
+X   avoid opening it in the first place?

+_   sometimes bicubic vs quadratic beziers are mixed up in fonts
+_   not sure if it's limited to osx or what
 _ make dxf writer that'll work with recordRaw()
 _ document how to switch to next page
 _   maybe background() should do this automatically?
