== Process ==
 
Given this [[#text-ecosystem | complexity]], the most efficient process for everyone involved is not to blindly report problems in [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ Fedora bugzilla], but to do the following:
# Consult the [[#known-problems|known problems]] list to check if your issue has not been reported before.
# If that is the case, you can increase issue visibility and decrease its resolution time by:
## adding a polite comment in the issue tracker,
## putting yourself in CC,
## voting for the issue when it's possible.
# Otherwise:
## ''ask help'' on the SIG [[Fonts_SIG_mailing_lists | list]]  or the ##fonts irc channel to identify what component is likely to cause the issue<ref>You can also find clueful help on the #dejavu irc channel</ref>,
## ''report it'' directly in the ''upstream'' issue tracker of the affected component,
## ''notify the SIG'' by CC-ing the SIG [[Fonts_SIG_mailing_lists | bugs list]] in the upstream issue tracker.
## If you find the issue '''very''' impacting, you can add a [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora new bug] in Fedora bugzilla pointing to the upstream issue.

Problems are tagged by CC-ing the SIG [[Fonts_SIG_mailing_lists |bugs list]] when the upstream issue tracker allows it (any bugzilla) or by CC-ing a specific user (fedorafonts) otherwise.
