Using .Xdefaults for emacs on DS3100

I have been trying to change the default font for GNU emacs by adding a
line to my ~/.Xdefaults as suggested by the emacs man page. I am running
GNU emacs from DECwindows. Below are the lines that I added to the
~/.Xdefaults file, and I tried logging out and login in again after making
the additions.
emacs.BodyFont: 9x15
emacs.ReverseVideo: on
emacs.BitMapIcon: on
This had no effect. I tried changing some of the other defaults too, like
ReverseVideo and BitMapIcon; and this did not do anything either. I can
get the desired font by executing emacs with the -font 9x15 option, but I
would like to figure out why what I have tried did not work. Our manuals
have not arrived yet, so excuse me if I am asking a stupid question.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong or how to do it right.
Thanks,
