But I do not know how to define the font so that Arabic alphabets are not isolated.
If you really want to use Plain TeX with LuaTeX, the only viable option you have now is to process your document with context thus enjoying ConTeXt's OpenType layout until there is an independent code that can be used in Plain TeX format. (BTW, your example won't work with Plain LuaTeX since it doesn't load TTF fonts directly, you must be using context if you see un-joined Arabic text). A minimal example, would be: %%%%%%%%%%%%%% \pagedir TRT \bodydir TRT \textdir TRT \pardir TRT \definefontfeature[fea] [mode=node,language=dflt,script=arab, isol=yes,init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes, liga=yes,rlig=yes,mark=yes,mkmk=yes] \font\test=zara*fea scaled\magstep0\test هل انت کیقک؟ \end %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The \definefontfeature defines a font feature that allows turning on/off various layout features of the selected font, assuming that the font contain OpenType layout tables.
