When I try to use the commando:

(frame-parameters nil 'font) C-j

in my WinXP version of emacs I get the followin error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-number-of-arguments #<subr
frame-parameters> 2)
  (frame-parameters nil (quote font))
  eval((frame-parameters nil (quote font)))
  eval-last-sexp-1(t)
  eval-last-sexp(t)
  eval-print-last-sexp()
* call-interactively(eval-print-last-sexp)

Does anybod know why??

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.

Edi.

I think what he wanted was

(frame-parameter nil 'font)
