It's a pretty common feature of desktop publishing applications�Quark, 
FrameMaker, InDesign.  TextEdit, the default text editor on Mac OS X, does 
it, but it's not at all common at the low end of things.  I wouldn't be 
surprised if it showed up in Word eventually, however.

In FrameMaker, which I happen to have open at the moment, you do it by 
turning pair kerning on and off.  InDesign has a menu that lets you select 
degree of ligation.
