This happens because the two renderer use a different font source which results in slightly different font metrics for the same fonts. This in turn has consequences on the layout. There's currently nothing you can do to get the same output other than by switching renderers. PDF and PostScript, for example, should produce almost exactly the same output because they can use the same font source. That's not possible with AWT.
But PostScript output still has some limitations as pointed out at

Indeed I have experienced differences in character spacing. Perhaps because we used *negative* letter-spacing, while on line 691 of the PSRenderer.java of the FOP 0.20.4 source, the check for letter-spacing is as follows:
if (area.getFontState().getLetterSpacing() > 0) ...
