I don't think there's any comprehensive list... a font can define its own ligatures, I could (if I create a font) even decide that "two" should look like "2", i.e., I would define a ligature of t+w+o, and copy the glyph for "2" there, and then "artwork" would look "ar2rk".
For checking which ligatures are actually defined, I don't know if there's a better method, but I'd open the font in FontForge and look at the ligature tables. But FontForge is not very intuitive (and I'm no expert).
