The only way of doing what you want is to use OpenType.

There is no separate Expert Set font in the OpenType version because it's not necessary. Everything is built into one font, including the small caps, ligatures and alternates. Standard ligatures (including ffi and ffl) will just work automatically. The small caps and oldstyle figures are then just accessed by formatting.

I'm a little confused by your comments on pricing, as it seems like you've already spent more money than you would have by just buying OpenType, at least for Adobe's version. Maybe Monotype will allow you to trade in, or give you a refund.

Monotype's "Centaur family pack," in Type 1 or TrueType, is $79.20, with the additional "Expert Volume" at $44.00, for a total of $123.30, plus more if you had to pay extra for the TrueType version too.

Adobe's OpenType version is Centaur Std, which is $99 at <http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_1312.html>; it includes all the glyphs formerly found in the Centaur Expert package <http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_333.html>

Monotype's Centaur Pro package is $169 and can be found here: <http://www.fonts.com/findfonts/detail.htm?pid=431927&grab_id=0&page_id=55591&query=Centaur&SCOPE=Fonts>

Monotype's usage of the word "Pro" seems to differ from Adobe's - in Adobe parlance it refers to additional language support, not extra typographic functionality.
