# Many Adobe Pro fonts include a large set of standard ligatures, such as
# fi, fl, ffi, ffl, ff, fj, ffj, Th, and others. Most other Adobe OpenType
# fonts have a smaller set of standard ligatures, like those in Type 1
# fonts.

So, you can find some, at least from Adobe, and I guess other quality
font vendors.
