Vertical mode: when in vertical mode characters are centred horizontally and vertically and a fixed width is set via <?tchrw>. All characters are also rotated anti-clockwise by 90° to counteract the frame rotation.

Roman characters override this setting, by reverting back to proportional width, retaining the frame rotation and aligning back to the baseline.
