It's the comprehensive list of all installed faces in your emacs. Each
package might install it's own faces. You can do it yourself:

(defface my-cool-face
  '((((background light)) (:foreground "white" :overline "black"))
    (((background dark))  (:foreground "black" :overline "white"))
    )
  "Super face for super users")

See http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/elisp/html_node/Faces.html#Faces
