This problem was fixed back in 2008, by using a newer version of fontforge
to generate the .ttf file.
The SVN log says:

Fixed several validation errors, such as paths in wrong direction.
Changed u2500 to look like the proper Unicode char, rather than
be customized for Z. Added ENDZED.

The CZTSans.ttf generated by Fontforge version 20080309
does not seem to crash Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 any more.

And I just installed CZT-circus.ttf on my Windows 7 64-bit machine, and
there seem to be no problems using that font in Word, and Visual Studio
2010 runs fine too.

Cheers
Mark
