You can type any size you want into the Font Size. Traditionally, in the "olden days" fonts were specified in specfic jumps, e.g. 10, 12, 14, 18, 24, 30, 36, which were standard sizes in typesetting. Some programs echo that in their pull down menus, but that does not prevent you from specifying 13 or even a fractional size like 13.5.
