(Are you joking? There's no smiley in your message, so I guess you're not.)
That message is displayed by the Man-fontify-manpage function, whose doc

| Convert overstriking and underlining to the correct fonts.
| Same for the ANSI bold and normal escape sequences.
"Make up" is used here in the publishing sense: converting markup into
presentation.
