As proof, see the attached images of the word 'insufficient' displayed in Rakuten Serif, Rakuten Sans (someone mentioned ligatures work there, they don't) Literata Book and Bookerly.

I think Jon meant the font file itself has the ligatures, meaning the font is improperly configured as it doesn't show them.
Though his later claim that the font not showing up on devices because of it being broken in this way is also incorrect since that's obviously not intended behavior either. And, as has been mentioned on the forums, not everyone cares about ligatures.
Hopefully Rakuten/Kobo fix the issue in a future release. Though, as with every bug, people need to bring it to their attention to increase the priority of getting it fixed.
