In a previous post I asked how one can customize an alpha style-type bst file.
Now, I would like to know how I can change the font of some element (e.g., the titles). In particular, some elements are in italic form. How can I remove that?

Do you want to disable italicization globally in the bibliography, or just for some elements? If it's the latter, which ones might they be?– MicoJun 21, 2020 at 11:21

@Mico I would like to disable italicization globally. I thought, bolding the volume number is rather a minor change, therefore, I asked both question in one post.– AstrolabeJun 21, 2020 at 11:38

1@Mico Query edited. I will post the other query separately later.– AstrolabeJun 21, 2020 at 13:37

I take it you're using a modified version of the file alpha.bst. It contains a function called emphasize, which is invoked in more than a dozen different instances throughout the bst file.
Rather than edit these dozen+ different instances, I suggest disabling the function itself. In the modified bst file, look for the following code block:
FUNCTION {emphasize}
{ duplicate$ empty$
{ pop$ "" }
{ "{\em " swap$ * "}" * }
if$
}
(Depending on the vintage of your bst file, it may say { "\emph{" swap$ * "}" * } instead of { "{\em " swap$ * "}" * }.)
Change the code block to
FUNCTION {emphasize}
{}
which, effectively, makes it an empty shell that does nothing at all -- exactly what you want it to be, right?
