Sorry for my late reply, I had some other things to do – and
particularly to remember my experience with efont! From this XLFD name
I cannot tell anything. You could! For example by removing elements of
the X server's font path (and rehashing the remainder) and see when
this font vanishes from the list. But this can be faulty: GNU Emacs
might use fontconfig (the user supplied side, which is able to provide
the font's file name!). In the end the font can be part of the Lucida
bitmap fonts in X11. Its size indicator points into this direction.
Usually scalable or vector fonts can be deduced from their pixel and
point size of 0 points.

To me only "(" and ")" look pixelised. This can be due to poor
performance of the rendering engine in your X server.

Check which shared libraries your version of GNU Emacs uses! If
libfontconfig is among them then it will use fontconfig and you have
its utilities fc-list or fc-match. Some possible commands (in case
you're new to this):
fc-list :lang=el,ar,he | sort
fc-list : file family lang
fc-list : file lang spacing | grep spac | egrep 'lang=.*th'

I remember that I tried efont and had the same problem: the width of
LCR (Latin, Cyrillic, Greek) glyphs was much too wide, maybe adapted
to that of complex CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) glyphs. It might be
OK for CJK use...
In my Mac OS X system the Lucida TrueType fonts are in /System/Library/
Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/<version>/Home/lib/fonts. File
names: LucidaTypewriter*.ttf.
