Why does the fact that you have failing eyes necessitate having a font in the form above? I have failing eyes and I find Bitstream Vera Sans much the best, having tried quite a few. Courier I find awful. I find Bitstream Vera Sans very clear and easy to read - better than the obvious alternatives, Dejavu and Liberation - and it can become enormous if that is what you want. I have it set for everything, word processor, desktop, browser, email client etc. I use aptitude to install it, then just use it. Why do you need the iso etc.?
