Special characters in category names not handled correctly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Reported by Christopher Culy:

Problem: Some combinations of names of values cause the graph to display 
incorrectly (skewed, and even off the right edge in some cases).

How to reproduce:
Here is sample CSV data (NB: my locale makes Excel use ; rather than , as the 
delimiter, but that isn't the problem, I don't think -- see below):
-----------------
N;a;b
5;A;dollar
4;B;hash
-----------------
Open the sample data.
Assign $ as the name of dollar, and # as the name of hash.
Show the graph, with all values: the first column is incorrect.

NB: using only $ and not #, and vice versa, does not cause a problem -- the 
graph shows correctly. It is only when both $ and # are used as names that 
there is a problem.

This is actually rather important.
