You can only set the typeface's name as it appears on posters with manual composition. Not only are the needed A and V placed in mutually exclusive stylistic sets, but the G_A ligature doesn't kick in with the stylistic set enabled.
Any sensible reason for such half-assed implementation? Other than that the font is old and digitized hastily and carelessly by people who had no emotional relationship with it? Was it to avoid huge gaps when kerning is off? (I think that would still be less jarring.)
Are there other digitizations?

EDITED TO ADD: but I guess if there are stylistic sets within the file, OpenType updates have been made at least.
I had to do a poster on ligatures for a type class, so I chose this exact version and bumped into the exact same issues. Not only that, but the school had Avant Garde in the type library (but that didn't include the ligatures)....
So as a poor student, I ended up having to spend about $150 just the alternates so I could complete the project. At least I got an A on it...
