Could make all text be programmable over the graphic design #11

As the QR code and the address is generated on top of the graphics, it would make things easier if the rest of the text can be added programmatically.

This would make it easier to in case of a new graphics to be available for all supported languages. E.g. the Chinese New Year design can be available for Chinese, English, Czech, ... on one click instead of having to do graphics editing and adding more large files to the repo.

Of course this can be tricky, as it might need to include the relevant font in the repo and some ways to do text formatting for better look. Just starting a conversation. :)

First of all, thanks for the additional designs. I'll try to push these in ASAP after I do some print tests, etc.

As for programmatic application of text onto the design, this is the #2 priority and some significant progress has been made. It will not only make translations easier, make the github download MUCH smaller, but also it's important for the #1 priority which is finishing up BIP38 support. When this is done I need to make sure not to say "wallet import format" on the front because it would no longer be true. (!)
