Did you leave a blank line as the first line? I think if you don't .Xresources won't work.

Here's mine:

$ cat .Xresources

Xft.dpi: 81
XTerm*faceName: Droid Sans Mono
XTerm*faceSize: 11
URxvt.font: xft:Droid Sans Mono:pixelsize=12

You're right. I didn't know about this "trick"

Thank you very much.

You're kidding? Can you confirm that inserting a blank line fixes your
problem and that removing it breaks things again? That's a massive bug
if so. It sounds like a buggy shell script with a stray "read" somewhere
to me...

No real plot, some good special effects, but not enough to save this very
forgettable film. S&N: Windows 95.

I'm serious. After inserting that blank line, I get what I want.
This sounds strange me too, but that is it

I think it complains (.xsession-errors) if there isn't a blank line.
