UPDATE2: It appears I was a bit hasty in my previous reply. Only letter spacing is negative and that doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem. Its the word spacing on the first tspan. I guess when word-spacing is applied the first tspan takes up more room and therefore overlaps the start of the second tspan. But the bit I'm still not clear on is why this is happening when each character is absolutely positioned using x coordinates.
