As expected.

I guess the marked part says it all (assuming I'm right in concluding
that this zero is the size of the font that is being requested).

Did you build your Emacs?  If so, then add the --enable-checking
switch to the configure script when you run it, and then rebuild with
"make".

If you don't build your Emacs, then don't worry about this part of my
response.

Are you saying that using this theme worked in the past?
