Saying you know of something means that you only have heard a little about it. You’ll most commonly hear it like this:
Do you know Terry?
I know of him.
This means you might have heard about Terry or have seen him but haven’t really met him or talked to him.
How do you translate this phrasing into French?

- (Je le connais) de vue.
- On se dit bonjour.
- Par ouï-dire.
- De ouï-dire. (rare)
- J'ai entendu parler de lui.
- (Je (ne) le connais) Pas vraiment.
- (Je (ne) le connais) Pas trop bien.
- (Je le connais) Comme ci comme ça.
- (Je le connais) Comme ça.
- (Je (ne) le connais) Pas intimement.
