The answer is right there in the fist paragraph, and in more detail if you read the whole article.
The author uses kmscon, that is a usermode console with proper graphics drivers, hi res rendering, and UTF8 font support. There is no desktop environment used.
I suspect that is where the italics support is coming from. Makes me want to try it out.
