I have checked it out, and it works fine on Debian Stretch/Sparky 4, but doesn't on Buster/Sparky 5.
It is closed source package so I can only guess that it was compiled on Debian stable (Stretch) and is binary compatible with the stable libs.

Hello
I found the solutiom on teamviewer community:  https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/Linux/teamviewer-12-for-linux-antergos-no-opening/td-p/15599
I faced with the same problem on debian buster (testing). After upgrading of libfreetype6 package the teamviewer gui stop working.

There is a better solution. I download i386 libfreetype6 package for debian stable from packages.debian.org. Then I unpack this package and put two files from them (libfreetype.so.6, libfreetype.so.6.12.3) to /opt/teamviewer/tv_bin/RTlib/ directory.

Results:
1) system package libfreetype6 was NOT replaced by older version
2) teamviewer works just fine.
