[SOLVED]Urxvt Suddenly Fails to Start

I have no idea how to fix this, considering I have no error messages to post or anything of that nature. All I did was add this to my Xresources:

URxvt.font:Tamsyn:pixels-size:9

Then ran xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources. Upon trying to start it it just loaded for quite awhile and then stopped loading, failing to start. I removed the line from ~/.Xresources, then merged again. Urxvt continues to fail. I tried deleting ~/.Xresources and reinstalling urxvt to no avail. It simply won't start. I'm using AwesomeWM so I've tried starting it by the default keybinding to open a terminal(Meta + Enter) as well as running it this way(Meta + R) and typing in urxvt. Won't start. I don't really know where to go from here. Thanks for reading.

Re: [SOLVED]Urxvt Suddenly Fails to Start

Did you try actually restarting X or overwriting instead of merging with xrdb?

Re: [SOLVED]Urxvt Suddenly Fails to Start

To be honest, I didn't want to restart X because I have a urxvt open from before this happened, and I didn't want to restart and then have no working terminal. Urxvt is the only thing I have installed. I suppose I could just temporarily install another terminal.

EDIT: Oh wow that's embarrasing. Sorry, and thanks for the response.
