What you say was true about the old core X fonts backend for Pango (it 
cached some metrics info as a property on the root window), but I don't 
think it is true for the Xft/fontconfig backend.  Since the core X fonts 
backend doesn't exist in recent versions of Pango, it shouldn't be an 
issue here.
