We are handing it off to 2D We aren't doing any up-front verification here, but I don't want to copy 2D behaviour into the docs, even if I could be sure about that .. I may just want to be more waffly about what happens. Could be printed to the printer, could be a failed job, could be an exception of some kind if some nice piece of Java code recognises a problem up-front ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jfx/pull/543
