Font substitution help.

I need some help, I'm in a pitiful situation with a client.
Designed their site using DIN 1451 Engschrift and Museo Sans Rounded. (I initially wanted Knockout and something else I can't remember but went with these because they're easily had through fonts.com).
Turns out the client absolutely does not want to use a subscription service, and further refuses to pay for webfonts based on page views. I've fought the good fight, and gone several rounds trying to defend this, explain that it's the industry standard, find reasonable alternatives. As far as I can tell all avenues lead to purchasing a license for these fonts that require that page views be tracked (also a non-starter).
So at this point I need substitutes that have an open source license. League Gothic seems like it'll work as a replacement for DIN, but I'm stuck finding something that has the same personality as Museo Sans Rounded. Suggestions on this front would be a big help.
Also if you know of anywhere that I can license these fonts for the web without page views needing to be tracked that would be wonderful as well.
Thanks for the help, or amusingly smart ass responses that cheer me up.
