It will be nice to have a parameter e.g. $wgMathRendering allowing to set which method to render formulas should be choosable in the user preferences. So far it is only possible to set a distinct method as default for users. However other choices are shown, even if they are eventually not set up. Pragmatically this setting could default to $wgMathRendering = array( MW_MATH_PNG, MW_MATH_SOURCE );
There are the variables $wgMathUseTexvc, $wgMathUseMathML, $wgMathJax to adjust the available methods. Does that solve the problem
Unfortunately they do not or I really missed something. Let me put it in other words: What do I have to set if I do not want one or both of the standardly displayed options to be shown on "Special:Preferences", i.e. "Always render PNG" and/or "Leave it as TeX (for text browsers)"? The parameters mentioned allow to manipulate the choice of just these three extra options, not of all of them. Currently I am dirtily patching "Math.hooks.php" to achieve this. Thus reopening.
You are right, you can not disable the plaintext mode. Disabling the png mode is a feature of the next version that is currently reviewed. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/85801/ I agree with you that it would be preferred to replace those individual variables and make the $validModes variables MathRenderer::getRenderer global. I'll put that to my todo list.
I added the feature to Math2.0 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/85801/

Heiya physikerwelt, thanks a ton for implementing this. I just successfully tested this on a MW 1.23 though the way to enable this has changed since revision 110226. A bit irritating is that this uses a checkbox instead of of radiobuttion but this should be another bug report.
