Thanks for pointing out that the fontspec documentation is out of date.
It will be updated for the next beta.
Size is in points and can be fractional. A negative size is an error
(currently in Jwdp and in the next beta for Jwdw as well)..
In windows the fractional point size you give is rounded to the nearest
pixel size and then is passed to gdi as a negative value so as to get
character height rather than cell height.

Subject: [Jbeta] negative font height
Negative font height is documented in windows api:
>0 means cell height while <0 means character height.
I usually to negative height in fontspec eg, "Lucida Console" _12
default
Both J504 and J601 accept it. Since it is not documented in fontspec,
I'm
interested to know if it is indeed supported or just neglected.
