Yes, but a programmer is a user to, depends on context.

In the object inspector, the positive and negative values should be 
displayed.

But on the editor options dialog, I don;t actually see the point. The 
Editor option dialog doesn't have a "Size" and a "height" field, it has 
one field only.
IMHO the dropdown should be the same as the listbox on the 
font-selection-popup-dialog => all positive values. It can accept 
negative values, but only if manually entered by the user.
