Nav Report Font Substitution through a Virtual PC

As many of you are aware, fonts are weird in Navision. Most of the reports in Navision are programmed to use the font “Helvetica”. Helvetica is not a standard Microsoft Windows font. Windows translates the font to be the default font on that workstation (usually Arial).
There is a place in the registry that maps this. Running the 'regedit.exe' file will reveal what Helvetica is being translated to -
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes
I have a client running Navision 3.7 on a Windows 7 workstation. When she runs Navision, it launches "Windows XP Mode - Windows Virtual PC". I don't know if the changes I made to the Font Substitution carry over to the virtual PC.
Does anyone know where the Virtual PC gets its font substitution from? Is it coming from the registry on the workstation that launched the Virtual PC? Or are there separate virtual PC settings that need to be changed?
Thank you!
