Professor Shark, have you tried anything from the Hoefler & Frere-Jones foundry? It's not free, but the Hoefler Text, and its Italic, with swashes/contextual alternatives is quite similar to your third picture, and you might find something a bit similar to the first two in their Fell Types. Not sure on the allowances for linking, but Googling 'hoefler foundry' will get you to their site.

Segoe UI is actually a rip-off of Frutiger, not Helvetica (according to Spiekermann) because once again MS were too cheap to license a font and got someone to copy it. On the plus side, Frutiger/Segoe is a definite step in the right direction as regards overall legibility. As long as the font is properly hinted -- and the hinting on Segoe isn't too bad -- it's actually significantly more legible than Helvetica. That's part of why I'm so disappointed to see Apple start using Helvetica Neue for iTunes... it's a display typeface, not a body typeface, and anyway Helvetica isn't what it should be (you'll want Christian Schwartz's Neue Haas Grotesk for that...)!
