I use the following elisp to turn off bold faces

(defun unbold-all-faces ()
  "Clear the `bold' flag from all faces."
  (interactive)
  (dolist (f (face-list))
    (if (face-bold-p f) (set-face-bold-p f nil))))

(add-hook 'font-lock-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (unbold-all-faces)))


You could expand this for underline, etc. I found this in gnu.emacs.help a
few years ago, here is the Message ID of the original posting
