Hi Bill, we have rearranged therion metapost code in latest commits and now (using last devel build) it should be possible to have boxed height labels just by using following code in your layout:
code metapost p_label_mode_height:=6; endcode The magic number 6 stands for boxed label. See https://github.com/therion/therion/blob/master/mpost/thText.mp#L85 for list of all label modes. Please let us know, if this is what you have been looking for or more complicated changes are needed. S.
