Try

  C-h f frame-parameters RET

and you'll see that frame-parameters doesn't take two
arguments. That's also what the error message is telling you.

What you probably want is

  (assoc 'font (frame-parameters))

or

  (assoc 'font (frame-parameters my-frame))

where my-frame is the frame you want the information for.

And please don't crosspost the same question to several newsgroups
without indicating this.
