The same functionality could be added to both versions of banner... If you
look at Open/Net banner(1) chset.c (or is it chsets?), you can see the
character set that is used, and modify it, etc. The large banner could be
done the same, but the character sets would be complex. Now if someone
took a BMP->ASCII converter, drew large fonts, took ascii mappings of
them, and dumped them in a file, you'd have a nifty way to make 'fonts'
for banner/figlet/etc.
