LuaMetaTeX: \hbox dir vs. direction
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8006dd17a814c6e0d2d3919c2465cbda.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Dear Hans, In LuaMetaTeX the directional syntax for boxes \hbox dir TLT {...} is no longer supported. Currently this is necessary for PGF because certain things like shading have to always be typeset in TLT. Is there a simple workaround? Cheers, Henri See also: https://github.com/pgf-tikz/pgf/issues/958

Just use \naturalhbox in mkiv and lmtx.
