Supposedly luatex is a superset of pdftex that makes > finding fonts easier and eliminates the generation of tmf files. Not if you use plain TeX. Unlike XeTeX, LuaTeX cannot find or use any more fonts than pdfTeX does. You need additional macros, that are present in ConTeXt, but in neither LaTeX nor (obviously) plain TeX. You can, though, use the luaotfload package with LuaLaTeX as well as (I think) plain LuaTeX, but Khaled should be able to tell you more about that.
