Thanks! This looks fine to me (count this as a R-b if one is needed and no one
else dares).

And just for reference, apparently this was introduced in the following commit
(before it there was a cairo_scaled_glyph_page_key_t containing a
cairo_cache_entry_t and a cairo_scaled_font_t*):

      [scaled-font] Lean and mean global glyph cache.
