A few desktop sites have a mobile meta viewport. For example: www.multichannel.com/news/congress/house-passes-e-mail-privacy-act/410716
See attached screenshot.
The viewport is:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
But all the page content except the header and footer are in <div class="wrapper"> which has "min-width: 993px; max-width: 1140px;".
Hence it's laid out as a desktop page, but due to the meta viewport, we disable text autosizing.
Should we consider enabling text autosizing despite a mobile meta viewport when the page's layout width is much wider than the device width?
The possible downside would be on actual mobile pages that have wide images etc sticking out to the side; autosizing shouldn't do too much harm here on such sites, but it still decreases predictability. I can't remember if we already discussed this tradeoff.
