This is my first time dealing with x applications.
I emerged urxvt and modified configuration according to some guide and gentoo wiki, and then found the same problem with this thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-783140-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-urxvt.html
Then I used the solution there and found that I can just see a little tiny point as curser and nothing but little tiny space as I type in.
I figured that's because the font size so I add some line but failed. Then I removed some "pixel" settings which I don't know it's meaning, but still don't work.
How to solve this problem?
My .Xdefaults:

Are you using rxvt or urxvt? Your .Xdefaults contain only rules for rxvt. The urxvt rules must start as "URxvt". Also, don't break the lines when you are declaring the rules. For instance this is one line, not two lines:
Code:
URxvt.font: xft:Terminus:antialias=false:size=8

Thank you! It works.
I thought that Rxvt settings works with urxvt too. But I was wrong.
Also I found that my urxvt was not compiled with xft USE flag. That's interesting, because emerge -av doesn't show me there is a xft USE flag, but only a -xft flag, which I thought it means "build without". Maybe I should have read through the manual.

BTW: Here is a cool extension for urxvt that will let you change the font size with <Ctrl>-<Shift>-<Up> and <Ctrl>-<Shift>-<Down>.

This one is a little different from the others because the changes you make are persistent.

Well, I have the following keybindings in my Xdefaults Ctrl-7 to Ctrl-0. It's a static list of fonts, but good enough for my purpose. :)
Code:
URxvt.keysym.C-7:               command:\033]710;xft:inconsolata:size=10:antialias=true\007\033]711;xft:inconsolata:size=7:antialias=true\007
URxvt.keysym.C-8:               command:\033]710;xft:inconsolata:size=11:antialias=true\007\033]711;xft:inconsolata:size=8:antialias=true\007
URxvt.keysym.C-9:               command:\033]710;xft:inconsolata:size=12:antialias=true\007\033]711;xft:inconsolata:size=9:antialias=true\007
URxvt.keysym.C-0:               command:\033]710;xft:inconsolata:size=14:antialias=true\007\033]711;xft:inconsolata:size=10:antialias=true\007
