In my experience, if you rename the .TTF filename to match the internal font name, you can usually load a font in Blitz without having to install it in Windows. For example, if "Example Font" has the filename EXAMPL.TTF, you won't be able to use it in Blitz unless it's installed in Windows. But if you rename it to "Example Font.TTF" then it can usually be loaded by Blitz even if not installed in Windows (though this doesn't work with some fonts).

However, Blitz doesn't work with symbol fonts, so if Czar uses a non-standard encoding, it might not work with Blitz at all.
