Draw your own conclusions:

BANNER(1V)               USER COMMANDS                 BANNER(1V)

NAME
     banner - display a string in large letters

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/5bin/banner strings

AVAILABILITY
     This command is available with the System V software instal-
     lation  option.   Refer to Installing SunOS 4.1 for informa-
     tion on how to install optional software.

DESCRIPTION
     banner prints its arguments (each up to 10 characters  long)
     in large letters on the standard output.

SEE ALSO
     echo(1V)

BUGS
     When banner is used with characters from the top half of the
     Latin-1 character set (see iso_8859_1(7)), each character is
     mapped to a best approximation for that character  based  on
     the available ASCII character shapes (for example, diacriti-
     cal marks are removed).

Where "the rest of the night" means a part of the night, which could begin 
at 05:00 and end an hour or two later...

I did! (well, more exactly I typed "backspace dot right right backspace 
dot right right backspace dot...")

I tried "replace all" and ended up with dots in places where I didn't 
want them...

Then I tried "picture mode" and got BAD tab damage... :( :( :(

A problem was that I wanted this pattern:

. . . . . .
 . . . . . 
. . . . . .
 . . . . . 
. . . . . . 

and not this pattern:

. . . . . . 
. . . . . . 
. . . . . . 
. . . . . . 
. . . . . . 

(see the difference?)

Your second sentence answers the first...  :-/
