Vertical text not spacing evenly

Question

I've enabled the Japanese version so I could type vertically and the page numbers get unevenly spaced between certain numbers .

All three boxes have the same formatting, except the first is a Japanese font. The issue seems to be that the "1" in my font of choice (second two boxes) is spaced differently than other numbers. Is there a way to get all of these to space evenly automatically? None of the tracking, kerning, leading, line height etc. options seem to remedy this.

This issue is that the paragraph was set to Adobe Paragraph Composer and not Adobe Japanese Paragraph Composer.

I actually can't reproduce that at all, oddly enough. Are you using tatechuyoko? I'm guessing not - as it doesn't matter what font I pick or what numeral style I use, my 1s line up correctly:

Ehh, on second thought, perhaps the Arial Narrow and Proxima Nova examples are pushed a little bit to far to the right, I think. But if you've turned tatechuyoko on, it'll basically behave as if it is centered, which seems to be closer to what you'd want. Additionally, your preferred font seems to have a very short serif/ear/what would you call that stroke, anyways? so I imagine it'd render closer to the centerline than any of the examples I picked out.
