Change font of author affiliation marker

affiliationauthblkfonts

When using the authblk package I am able to adjust the font used in the author names and affiliations using the \Authfont and \Affilfont commands provided by the package.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{authblk}

\title{Paper Title}
\author[1]{First Author}
\affil[1]{First author's affiliation}
\author[2]{Second Author} 
\author[2]{Third Author}
\affil[2]{Other authors' affiliations}
\date{}

\renewcommand{\Authfont}{\bfseries \itshape}
\renewcommand{\Affilfont}{\mdseries \itshape}

\begin{document}
\maketitle 
\end{document}

What can I do to change the font of the marker numerals (1 and 2) to match the text they appear next to (i.e. bold-italics in the author list and italics in the affiliations)?

You have to modify the \textsuperscript command that the package calls. And to get combined bold and italic, load the amsmath package.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{authblk}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\bgroup
\renewcommand{\textsuperscript}[1]{$^{\boldsymbol{\mathit{#1}}}$}

\title{Paper Title}
\author[1]{First Author}
\author[2]{Second Author} 
\author[2]{Third Author}

\renewcommand{\textsuperscript}[1]{$^\mathit{#1}$}
\affil[1]{First author's affiliation}
\affil[2]{Other authors' affiliations}
\date{}
\egroup

\renewcommand{\Authfont}{\bfseries \itshape}
\renewcommand{\Affilfont}{\mdseries \itshape}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\end{document}

For a single application it's rather pointless defining an appropriate \maketitle command.

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\newcommand{\affilmark}[1]{\rlap{\textsuperscript{\itshape#1}}}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\vspace*{3ex}
\begin{center}\LARGE
  The title of this paper, long enough to break over two lines
\end{center}
\vspace*{2ex}
\begin{flushleft}\large
A. N. Author\affilmark{a},\quad
B. P. Another\affilmark{b},\quad
C. Q. Third\affilmark{c}\\[2ex]
\normalsize\itshape
\textsuperscript{a,b}\,Department of Cuisine, University of Nowhere\\
\textsuperscript{c}\,Department of Departmentalization, University of Somewhere\\[1ex]
\upshape Corresponding author's email: \texttt{A.N.Author@nowhere.edu}
\end{flushleft}
\vspace*{3ex}

\begin{abstract}
\lipsum[1-2]
\end{abstract}

\section{Introduction}
\lipsum
\end{document}

I would have also the title flush left.

[Tex/LaTex] Remove affiliation from author

The entire list of authors is stored in \AB@authlist, while the superscripted affiliations are provided by \textsuperscript (note the trailing space!). As such, you can use \printauthorlist:

\newcommand{\printauthorlist}{{%
  \expandafter\let\csname textsuperscript \endcsname\@gobble% Remove \textsuperscript 
  \AB@authlist}% Print list
}

It temporarily sets \textsuperscript to \@gobble, which just gobbles its argument (thereby removing the superscripted notation).

Here's a complete MWE:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[noblocks]{authblk}% http://ctan.org/pkg/authblk
\usepackage{fancyhdr}% http://ctan.org/pkg/fancyhdr
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\printauthorlist}{{%
  \expandafter\let\csname textsuperscript \endcsname\@gobble% Remove \textsuperscript 
  \AB@authlist}% Print list
}
% Define \institutes command    
\def\@institutes{}
\renewcommand\@institutes{\AB@affillist}
%   HEADERS AND FOOTERS
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}% No header rule
\fancyfoot{}% Clear footer
\fancyfoot[R]{\printauthorlist}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\makeatother
\title{Title}
\author{author1}\author{author2}\affil{affil1}
\author{author3}\author{author4}\affil{affil2}
\begin{document}
\maketitle\thispagestyle{fancy}

This is some text.
\end{document}

You are required to use \csname textsuperscript \endcsname in order to capture the trailing space in the control sequence definition.
