I have installed infinality-bundle to refine font rendering but now I can't use tahoma font. neither my system nor Firefox can read it although it's installed . tahoma font is replaced by DejaVuSansCondensed which is ugly with Arabic webpages . can anyone tell me what is wrong an walk me through my font settings to solve my problem ?

Make sure your fonts are in
~/.fonts
make sure that you have them unziped in otf format.

1- Yes I did that .. some of my fonts are in ~/.fonts but I think butting them in usr/share/fonts will do the same !
2 - Tahoma font is TTF ( true type format ) how to but it in OTF ?!!

TTF files should work just fine too.

OK I know that all my TTF font are working ! I think youre missing the point .. my problem is I can't activate Tahoma font whatsoever

Either restart or use this command
#fc-cache -fv
, if you're sure you put that font in the right place.

Please use code tags when pasting output.
Do the following commands
$ fc-list | grep -i tahoma
$ fc-match tahoma
show your font?
Have you checked the files in /etc/fonts/conf.d are not forcing the override?

here is the output for first command :
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/tahoma.ttf: Tahoma:style=Regular,Normal,obyčejné,Standard,Κανονικά,Normaali,Normál,Normale,Standaard,Normalny,Обычный,Normálne,Navadno,thường,Arrunta

and here is the output for the second :
LiberationSans-Regular.ttf: "Liberation Sans" "Regular"
I'm not sure what do you mean by asking "Have you checked the files in /etc/fonts/conf.d are not forcing the override?"

As I said before, please use code tags when pasting output - it's hard to read otherwise.
Regarding my override question, I suggest you read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration
