Well...
If Patient's Name is written with, say Greek -or Hebrew, or Russian, 
Thai, or, Jesus! French...- characters, it will not work !
We have to check :
0008|0005 [Specific Character Set]

ASCII         "ISO_IR 6"    (UTF-8)
UTF-8         "ISO_IR 192"  (UTF-8)
ISO Latin 1   "ISO_IR 100"  (ISO-8859-1)
ISO Latin 2   "ISO_IR 101"  (ISO-8859-2)
ISO Latin 3   "ISO_IR 109"  (ISO-8859-3)
ISO Latin 4   "ISO_IR 110"  (ISO-8859-4)
ISO Latin 5   "ISO_IR 148"  (ISO-8859-9)
Cyrillic      "ISO_IR 144"  (ISO-8859-5)
Arabic        "ISO_IR 127"  (ISO-8859-6)
Greek         "ISO_IR 126"  (ISO-8859-7)
Hebrew        "ISO_IR 138"  (ISO-8859-8)

Japanese

ISO-IR 13

isprint() function returns true when a character belongs to the standard 
C locale, right?
Should we turn dynamiquely the C locale, according to the [Specific 
Character Set] ?
(no idea on the way to do it ...)
And what about display ?
Should we generate a HTML page, instead of an output on std::cout ?

Any suggestion welacome.
