IVD10 fonts in registry?

[Jeff]

There are entries in my registry
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Fonts (XP Home SP1) refering
to the following fonts:

IVD10__.FON, IVD12__.FON, IVDSB14_.FON, IVDSB10_.FON

which do not exist on my PC.

Can I safely delete these keys?

They are not causing any harm, Jeff. I would just leave them be.

Thanks. I was just getting ready for SP2. I understand that one of the
reasons SP2 installs can give trouble is when there are too many outdated
changes in the registry from the "virgin" state when XP was first installed.

Doesn't a bloated registry filled with left over past entries slow down XP
or is that a myth?
