If you do
M-x font-lock-mode
then font-lock gets disabled (or enabled).
If font locking is disabled, hi-lock will use overlays and not the
fontification engine for displaying highlights.
(I think in certain terminal types, font-locking is not available and
overlays get used. Someone can correct me if I am wrong or provide more
information in this regard.)
