Freely available old-style serif fonts with multiple weights

When I typeset text, I love to be able to choose from a large array of different weights (and, if possible, expansions). Having light and semi-bold variants in addition to the regular and bold weights really help broaden one’s choices for setting type elegantly. For long-running text, I am quite partial to old-style serifs, and to Arno Pro and Minion Pro in particular.

However, those two are commercial fonts. I am thus looking for a good set of free old-style serif fonts including three or four weights. (Free as is free beer or free speech, I’m trying not to set the bar too high!).

Answer

Some other sources of free (and sometimes good) fonts:
