Fonts with avar table break instance selection #29

The display of named instances shows entries from the wrong name IDs when the font contains an "avar" table. In addition, selecting the instances doesn’t work correctly. If you remove the avar table and keep everything else the same, the correct name IDs are displayed for the instances.

Test fonts: avar.zip

The fonts have been built with fontTools.varLib.

This bug is back again for me in release 0.3.1.

Hm, not exactly. I'm seeing the same behaviour with a font, but it is not related to the avar table. Will see if I can find out more.
