The font needs to include ligatures and the engine has to be able to display them.
So on Kobo, kepubs have ligatures turned off by default. You can turn on ligatures using a patch.
Even if you enable ligatures, the font you use needs to include them. Georgia on my Nook includes ligatures. Georgia on the Kobo is a smaller subset and it does not include ligatures.
Literata Book and Bookerly both include various ligatures.

You could use the Windows Georgia and as long as you rename the files to the long form font naming and then put them in the fonts directory. That would then use that version of Georgia instead which has ligatures.
