Leo, the right font for DIN/ISO in IV is "isocpeur".
It's like "isocp" but with line weights. It comes with IV.
If you need the original DIN/ISO fonts, have a look at

They didn't do any effort, I guesss: "isocp.ttf" and "romans.ttf" are
AutoCAD fonts. AutoCAD needs them in windows dialogues like
the mtext editor, cause it's not possible to use shx fonts there.
But these fonts are without line weights.
