I think the new "Adobe Originals" collection will help. In particular,
the new Adobe Garamond font and Utopia, both designed at Adobe, contain:
* ff fi fl ffi ffl ligatures
* small capitals
* old style digits
* alternates (swash capitals, ornaments, alternative letters)
* superior letters: a,b,d,e,i,l,m,n,o,r,s,t
* titling capitals (for use at larger point sizes, as in display)
* miscellaneous: symbols, punctuation, dot leaders, etc.
