Description Masaki Saitoh CLA 2002-10-11 07:34:21 EDT 
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.
Comment 2 Masaki Saitoh CLA 2002-10-14 21:23:55 EDT 
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.
