Thanks Erik, but that doesn't explain why it has no jerkiness in Safari, and the code doesn't actually referto font-size in the animation. The text is specified as font-family="Verdana" font-size="35.27" which presumably gives a fixed path composed of the glyphs for that size and the animation, as I would understand it <animateTransform attributeName="transform" attributeType="XML" type="scale" from="1" to="3" additive="sum" begin="3s" dur="6s" fill="freeze" /> changes the scale of that path and performs no operation on the XML attribute "font-size". No matter how I change the duration or the scale range I get the same changing kerning. Is that logical? In Firefox there is jerkiness and besides, the font color remains black instead of changing as it should. The relative movement and change of shape of the characters is worst in Opera, and in Safari everything seems to happen as it should. I did not suggest it was a SMIL issue; I suggested it was a browser issue with SMIL and that Firefox and Opera are clearly missing something that Safari has not missed.
