It should say: "supporting alternative (italics, bold) faces for font lock mode in the term bottom handler of emacs", ie the part that translates abstract descriptions to actual terminal escape sequences to produce the corresponding face. I am not familiar with the internals of emacs, though, so all I can do is describe the outside of the process, and pick it up in the console implementation where emacs emits sitm,ritm and other new escape sequences.
