But at this moment I think if would be beneficial to re-state what you want to attain. At first I thought you just wanted an ePUB with embedded fonts and ligatures that works, but you have already shown a sample that works in ADE and calibre viewer... So, what else do you want? Do you want to understand how to do it by hand? Do you want a workflow to get it from your source files?

Also, when creating sample documents, try to make them simple. To test ligatures and embedded fonts, often a single font is enough, and including several families of different fonts only make the file larger and more cumbersome to analyse.

As a general comment on ligatures I think the "right way" would be to have something like an OTF flag or feature that can be enabled/disabled, either through CSS or through software preferences, the same holds for old-style numbers and other features. Prince works along this lines.
