I think your code should rely on fontification-functions instead of fiddling
with things like window-size-change-functions.  It may very well be that
fontification-functions doesn't work quite right for you, tho (basically it
was defined for jit-lock and I believe that putting more than one function
on it won't work right, so maybe you'd want to use jit-lock-register
instead).
