Description Masaki Saitoh

When you call org.swt.graphics.GC.drawString() with the text string containing
euro sign, drawString() fails to draw it and the trailing characters.
For example, if you call drawString() with 'ABC$DEF' ($ stands for euro sign),
you will have only 'ABC' rendered and '$DEF' is lost.

Assigning to GG.  Are you sure that you are using a font that includes the 
euro?  If the font does not contain the glyph, nothing will draw.

Even when the glyph for euro is not available, other characters should be
rendered.  What I expected is not 'AB' but 'ABCD' or something like that.

Fixed > 1028.  The Converter was invoking iconv just once, so if an 
untranslatable character was encountered then anything that followed it in the 
string would not be processed.

I verified the fix with eclipse-SDK-I20021029-linux-motif.zip build.
It works fine.

Thank you very much.
