 I tried installing ML on my 5DII for the last few days and always got the error "FONT.dat not found" when trying to load it.
I followed the instructions exactly, used only a stable version and could SEE that the FONT.dat file was actually on my card prior to loading it in the camera.
After searching here for a reason, I didn't find one.  So today I tried something different. I had been inserting a previously used CF card into a slot on my computer each time I got the error (formated in the 5DII). This time I had a new CF card AND instead of using the slot on my PC I bought a card reader.  When I extracted the files to the CF card a ML folder appeared that never appeared before using the slot on the PC. Apparently the files correctly unzipped only when using the separate card reader, not the onboard PC card reader.

Now ML is installed and working perfectly.  I hope this helps anyone else who has had the same error.
