Can you please attach a screenshot?
The snippet does not disable the Tahoma font. It disabled the embedded
bitmaps within that font, so that the pure outlines are used and
anti-aliased/hinted according to your system setup.
Please open the file in a text editor and have a look for yourself.

Please also check in other applications, e.g. gedit, OpenOffice Writer,
etc. that Tahoma is rendered properly.

If it is acceptable in other applications, but not in firefox, that it's
either a configuration issue on your side or a bug in FF.

If it renders unacceptable in other applications as well, it would also
be a font configuration issue on your machine. I may follow up with you
on that one then. In this case, please also attach a screenshot of the
application you tested with.

Cheers
