I can't make fonts work with Xresources

[fov95]

So tabbed pics up colors no problem, they are set as
*.colorN: hexvalue

But it does not seem to pic up any fonts I pic.
I tried setting the font the same way I do for rxvt for example..

tabbed.font:Fira Code Nerd Font:style=Regular:size=12:antialias=true
gives nothing.. I tried it with options, without, with just *.font.. nothing.. what am I missing? Am I retarded?
Thing is, I checked other peoples configs and for them it works.. Why not for me? What am I missing? (and yes I load the xresources correctly, I have no problems in other programs I use that depend on Xresources)

So after getting probably around 100 new grey hairs I figured that it does not pic up the font set in xresources, when xresources patch is applied. It however STILL pics up the font from the config.h.
It pics the colors from .Xresources and the font from config.h.
