The other videos contain no special info for English or Latin, but things for type design in general, which are also true for Arabic. There is also a written tutorial about Arabic in the tutorials section.

Three possible answers:

  1. Are you trying to use cursive attachment without the exit and entry anchors?
  2. Did you not space your glyphs properly? Read the tutorial about spacing. Or watch the video.
  3. Perhaps it is a font cache problem. Read this please:

    Are you using the Adobe Fonts folder?

1- yes, without anchors

2- there’s a space add

Then you need to have sidebearings at zero or negative.
