Buy Adobe Type Manager.  It'll generate your 11-point, 13-point, 113-point
and anything inbetween.  Granted, it's not going to be the same quality
of hand-tuned fonts at small sizes, but it's still perfectly acceptable
on the screen.  (Especially if you're used to the Apple distributed
screen fonts instead of the Adobe distributed screen fonts.)
