Devnagari Language on your computer Challange part 2

Now why did I choose this as a challenge post?

While I was having a discussion with this person , along with my uncles and cousin. A subject came to light where in my uncle wanted to replace the domain name with devnagari too. At this point , i had known that gangal's fonts allowed you to change the names of the folders to what ever you want.

So , with that logic being a computer man i assumed , that naming of the folders is possible. So i went of to take this as a challenge. And I soon realised there may be more to what i think and may be too much for me.

But then being a very stubborn i decided to try it out. So first thing i did is to name a folder श्याम
and proceeded to put it in my web folder in case of ubuntu , its /var/www/




and then test it out with a call to 

                                                      http://localhost/श्याम/ 


And wallah it worked , now i thought it could work the same way in case of domain name boy was i wrong. 
So while it allows the naming to happen but it started to change my domain name into something else 



                               श्याम.shyamjoshi.in became http://xn--r2bbu7aze.shyamjoshi.in/

Which still bugs me , so if ever a reader comes across the solution to this problem , please make a point to reply to this post. In the meantime , I found a work around which probably readers of the blog must have figured out too.

I registed the xn--r2bbu7aze as the sub domain name to name of shyam joshi and it works really good.


So readers i ask humbly , if you are marathi or konkani make sure to try the font and my website which can be visited at http://श्याम.shyamjoshi.in and or http://shyamjoshi.in/श्याम
