LaTeX will use {o} instead of the space in every instance. TeX also provides for a dotless i using \i and a dotless j using\j.. This is necessary for putting accent marks over the dotted letter. The above codings are for plain TeX pdftex etc. Latex as usual makes things a bit more wordy. For \'o use \'{o} and for \H o use \H{o}. This is why I advised some time back that plain TeX and not LaTeX be used in the Scribus rendering system.
