Nevermind, I figured it out. There may be better ways to do this within Muse, but this worked for me:
At http://www.google.com/fonts I chose a "test" font family (Titillium) with 11 styles, and added it to my collection. (This "collection" will be temporary, since it's only for one page in Muse). Google web fonts are also FREE.
Then at Google's "use" link, out of the 11 styles in the family, I selected two weights (200 and 600), each with an additional italic style (200italic and 600italic

Under "add this code to your website," I copied the line of code there, and in Muse: Page > Page Properties > Metadata >"HTML for <head>" > pasted that code and hit OK. You can make a "collection" at Google fonts, or if you're like me and you change your mind constantly, you can also paste each new bit of code for fonts you want to add below the last one. This cannot be done globally in Muse; it must be done page-by-page.
The "tricky" part for me (not having edited HTML for as long as humanly possible 
), was getting the proper HTML syntax for the different weights and styles of the 4 fonts I chose from my test font-family.
After some experimentation, here is what my type looks like in Muse:
In Muse, here is the HTML I typed into > Object > Insert HTML... :
Note that each HTML tag must be /closed at the proper place, or in Muse you'll see ugly little "X-boxes" in your text, meaning something isn't right in the HTML.
In Muse you can change the textbox size, font size, and leading, but not tracking. And if you want to edit the text, you have to "Edit HTML."
I hope this helps others to be able use more fonts than those Typekit offers within Muse.
We pay money for Adobe Muse as a tool, we get a lot of fonts through Adobe Edge Web Fonts, and we can include (self-host) many other fonts we legally and technically own. That's more than enough I guess for the money you paid. You can't blame Adobe not to pay for all fonts of the world to be technically and legally available through Muse – at least not yet...
That said, font techniques (and font licenses) are becoming more and more difficult to understand. It would be nice if Adobe would create a tool to help us to verify and better understand what can and can't be done with the fonts we own.
