[jira] [Created] (PDFBOX-2122) FontBox's TTFDataStream doesn't set timezone in readInternationalDate

-----------------------------------

             Summary: FontBox's TTFDataStream doesn't set timezone in readInternationalDate
                 Key: PDFBOX-2122
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2122
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: FontBox
            Reporter: Tim Allison
            Priority: Trivial


TTFDataStream doesn't set the timezone for the calendar. GregorianCalendar defaults to the system's timezone.  This means that people in different timezones will get slightly different dates.  (TIKA-1325).

One TTF Spec (https://developer.apple.com/fonts/TTRefMan/RM06/Chap6.html) doesn't specify the timezone, but my guess would be UTC...except that it is Apple, so maybe it's Cupertino. :)
