Yeah instead of hashing I could have 4 cache variables "just" compare that 
(font, size, zoom and ascent+descent).  Indeed that would avoid clashes, and it 
only requires keeping one copy of the previous font string around, and I guess 
the memory impact is probably not relevant.

I'm not sure it'd be much faster, but possibly.  The advantage I see with the 
hash approach is that it makes it simpler as there's a single comparison 
instead of 4 to combine, and only one value to keep, instead of having the 4 
prev + 4 old ones.

I'll check, but I don't think speed matters -- clash might be relevant though.
