That's what the font is supposed to do. If you look at my example, it has long-s in the middle of words and normal s at the end... yet the HTML has only "s", no long-s anywhere. So, you see, the font can do that if the right features are supported and enabled. But some people don't want the long-s before or after "f", or before "k", etc. If you wanted that you'd have to modify the font's logic.

I've included here screenshots showing what works in iBooks (all the ligs!) and what works in ADE (only some).

Those shown in ADE are the ones defined by Unicode. If you could get the OpenType features to work in iBooks, I guess in ADE you'd see the same ligatures you see now, but not the other additional ones, and by not seeing I mean you'd see "ct" instead of the ct ligature, but not "Ã" or whatever. Surely that would be a more acceptable downgrade.

It's a shame that not all of the ligs work in ADE, but there's enough of them that I could probably still "fancy up" my text reasonably well and create an okay version that'll work in that platform -- which, of course, is great news!

What I expect you can get is a
single version, that works as you want in iBooks (and maybe others), and just okay in ADE.
