EB Garamond and Cormorant Garamond from Google Fonts are both decent free alternatives. EB Garamond is a little bit darker than Adobe's at the same weight, while Cormorant is a little bit lighter. If you are used to reading with something as dense and thickly stroked as ChareInk6SP, both will seem quite light, because of the delicacy of the Garamond style font. Both are about 2-3% wider than Adobe's, so still quite narrow.

If you read KFX, you cannot change the line height. It's forced on you. CharInk6SP allows a smaller line height when used with KF8. Also, the space is smaller so you get more characters per line. ChareInk6SP is based on Charis SIL.
I do need to update ChareInk6SP and CharInk6 to the new version of of Charis SIL.
