   Thanks for the answers that I have received by mail. Now I have tried
   emTeX and I find it a fairly good solution, even though it takes quite
   some space on the harddisk. But still I am dreaming about a preview as 
   fast (and small?) as e.g. WordPerfect. I does not matter if the fonts
   would not be perfect. 

You can have the best of both worlds - try DVIWindo. It is small (together
with several utility programs and text files it is less than 0.5 Megabyte).
It uses scalable font technology (Adobe Type 1 (ATM), TrueType (Windows
3.1), BitStream FaceLift etc), so can show output at any resolution, and it
does not require 6.5 Megabyte of PK files at various resolutions (All 75 CM
fonts take only 1.6 Megabyte in outline form, for example).  It loads much
faster than say WordPerfect or W4W.  You can have multiple instances loaded
up to compare different DVI files. It can print to any device that has a
Windows printer driver (including some fax boards).  You can do string
searches, color code your fonts, show a selected font in reverse video for
debugging font selection macros.  It can show previews of inserted figures
in EPSF and EPSI format.  It has specials for insertion of images in TIFF
format.  And specials for colored text, colored rules, color of foreground
and background in monochrome images, as well as reverse video. You can copy
a region on screen to the clipboard for pasting into other Windows
applications (and what you paste is NOT a bitmap).  It can be invoked by
clicking on a DVI file in the File Manager. Etc. etc.
