Could you please attach the ttf file standalone? For some reason, the combined patch doesn't work.

Update: don't bother, I found it at TIKA.

> 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. :)
