urxvt wont honor .xdefaults

So my urxvt setup wont honor my .Xdefaults file. It doesn't use the color scheme and it bolds text that it shouldn't. Does anyone have any ideas here? Thanks for the help here are the contents of my .Xdefaults file.

Xft*dpi:        96
Xft*antialias:    true

Re: urxvt wont honor .xdefaults

BUMP

After upgrading rxvt-unicode it no longer launches with the values being honoured at launch.
instead i get an opaque screen that only displays how it SHOULD after i click it to give it focus.
Any ideas?

Re: urxvt wont honor .xdefaults

have you tried xrdb?
xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults

I think this needs to be done after every edit. Not sure why though, e.g. aterm doesn't need that.
