Test case

Hi all,

I'm facing a problem opening a .XLS file (saved in excel 97-2003 format by
Excel 2007) with euro characters.
It prints a "?" (question mark) instead of the euro char "€".

Googling over, I found that a comment of Douglas Atique at
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30319#c10 pointed out at
org.apache.poi.util.StringUtil.java .
It's code shows clearly that it uses ISO-8859-1 instead of the newer
ISO-8859-15.

I think that it would be better to use the new coding.

More info:

Thanks,
Alejandro.
