As far as I understand, Aldus is a book weight version of Palatino,
hence more readable. Do you know if URW++ or TeX Gyre (or anyone else)
provide a free clone? I searched all places that I could think of, but
couldn't find anything.

Also, could you please confirm if URW Antiqua [2] is _not_ a clone of
Zapf Renaissance Antiqua [5]? The former complements [4] URW Grotesque
[3]. If so, are you aware of a free clone of Renaissance?

Personally I like to use another Zapf design, Optima [1], as a sans
complement to Palatino.

For those interested, from the Zapf series freely available in LaTeX
there's also URW Chancery and TeX Gyre Chorus [6], both clones of Zapf
Chancery, a calligraphical font.
