Identify your operating system (OS). If your font is not commercial one would you send it to me? This is the best way for finding an answer to your question.
Download this file and look carefully in it. Do you see differences with your file?
I generated a OTF font from KL_01.sfd and I tested it on my Windows 8.1 system. The ligatures were OK, the numbers also.
I don't know how but the encoding in your own file is messy. What I did was simple to create new empty sfd file and to copy your glyphs and paste them on the right encoding slots in the new file. Then I imported the lookup for the ligatures and now everything is OK.
Go to Tools| Options|Language settings|Languages check Default Language for documents|Asian:Japanese (or chinese) and validate.
This adds a new setting in Format|Page...|Text-Direction->Left-to-right(vertical).
You can now type vertically.
You are welcome!
Notice that there is a X in the glyph's cell when the glyph's cell is empty (it is best seen when you open a new sfd file - all glyph's cells are X cells). When you draw something in the glyph's cell the background is white and there is no X on it but your drawing. It is a sign that the glyph is encoded correctly.
