Is there a ligature bug in the Calibre subsetting code? If so, you might want to report it to Kovid, if you haven't already done so. (When I reported a font subsetting problem with Arabic fonts a couple of years ago he fixed it the same day and the fix made it into the weekly Calibre build.)

Umm, a little known epub 2 renderer called Adobe RMSDK supports ligatures and kerning (and maybe other opentype features).
In fact, Here are a couple of screenshots from my Kobo of a test epub. First screenshot is the in built Georgia font, which clearly has no ligatures. The second screenshot, I switched to Alegreya, which does.
