Check that the field you are highlighting on is "stored". It won't work otherwise.
Now, this also means that the field is returned from the query. For large text fields to be highlighted only, this means the entire text is returned for each result. There is a pending feature to address this, that allows you to tell Solr to NOT return a specific field (to avoid unecessary transfer of large text fields in this scenario).
