Umm, a little known epub 2 renderer called Adobe RMSDK supports ligatures and kerning (and maybe other opentype features).
I only tested the desktop version of ADE 4.5.x without embedded fonts and didn't see any standard ligatures. (When I embedded Google Cardo, standard ligatures worked.)

My (epub2 compatible) epub3 test book displayed standard ligatures in ADE 2 and 3 but not in ADE 4.5. This might be an ADE 4.5 font issue or, more likely, there's a mistake in my CSS.
