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.)
