Thanks, I'm happy to read this

If you delete the whole "lib/pref" folder and replace it with the original files from Angband 2.9.3, you have ASCII-Iso view, unfortunately also for the walls and floors. Not sure about doors, might be that I hardcoded those ...
But it should be fairly easy to create a pref file that only maps terrain to images and displays the rest as ASCII characters. I've kept a full ASCII set of characters in their "native" positions, so it should be fairly straightforward.
If I have a bit of extra time I'll see if I can make an example pref file.
Edit:
That was easy

I just had to remove all the monster and item definitions from the iso pref file, and it already looked rather well.

Just get this file, put it into the lib/pref folder of your Iso-Angband installation and it should do the trick. Maybe you want to backup the former version of the file, in case you want to revert to the more graphical version.
